World Mobile, a decentralized wireless network operator, has recently achieved a significant milestone by concluding field tests of its DeWi technology in three African nations. These successful tests, conducted in Kenya, Mozambique, and Nigeria, serve as a testament to the scalability of World Mobile’s innovative hybrid connectivity solution. With this achievement, World Mobile is now well-positioned to expand its network infrastructure across the African continent, ushering in improved connectivity and empowering communities with enhanced access to digital resources.
Through its decentralized wireless network, World Mobile revolutionizes connectivity by offering affordable and dependable internet access to underserved rural regions. Through successful tests in Kenya and Mozambique, World Mobile has demonstrated the effectiveness of utilizing TV White Space equipment. By leveraging the unused spectrum in the TV broadcast band, World Mobile delivers mobile network services, bridging the digital divide and empowering communities with access to vital online resources.
A Mission to Connect the Unconnected
During the field test conducted in Nigeria, World Mobile employed Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet constellation, as a reliable backhaul solution. By integrating Starlink with its network infrastructure, World Mobile effectively utilizes this complementary technology to expand its network coverage. This strategic combination of TV White Space and Starlink allows World Mobile to maximize the use of existing infrastructure and spectrum resources, facilitating the provision of widespread and robust connectivity to communities in need.
World Mobile CEO Micky Watkins said: “We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of field tests in Kenya, Mozambique, and Nigeria, which mark a significant milestone in World Mobile’s mission to connect the unconnected. These tests validate the feasibility and scalability of our DeWi technology, bringing us one step closer to providing affordable and reliable internet access to both rural and underserved areas worldwide.”
Building on the accomplishment of the field tests, World Mobile recently initiated its commercial network in Zanzibar, boasting an impressive infrastructure of over 300 AirNodes. This network facilitates wireless connectivity for a substantial user base of over 16,000 individuals on a daily basis. With this achievement as a foundation, World Mobile is actively pursuing its expansion plans across various African nations and beyond. Its ultimate vision is to establish a community-owned wireless network on a global scale aimed at bridging the digital divide and fostering social and economic inclusion worldwide.
An Inclusive and Sustainable Digital Ecosystem
World Mobile is dedicated to its mission of establishing a sharing economy that facilitates the deployment of telecommunications infrastructure in rural areas of Africa and beyond. Through its decentralized wireless (DeWi) solution, World Mobile offers connectivity at significantly lower costs compared to traditional mobile network operators. This innovative approach ensures that affordable and accessible connectivity reaches underserved communities, enabling them to benefit from the advantages of digital connectivity.
World Mobile was established with a visionary objective: to achieve global connectivity for all, promoting economic freedom and dignity. Setting itself apart from traditional mobile networks, World Mobile operates on blockchain technology and encourages individuals to participate in a sharing economy that harnesses the vast potential of the trillion-dollar global telecom market. By allowing individuals and business owners worldwide to operate network nodes, World Mobile enables communities to come online and generate revenue, fostering an inclusive and sustainable digital ecosystem.
