Decentralized wireless describes communication networks built and maintained by a distributed community rather than a single entity. These networks leverage blockchain technology to coordinate individual contributors who deploy and operate wireless hotspots or other infrastructure. Participants receive token rewards for providing coverage and transferring data, creating a more resilient and community-owned alternative to traditional telecom providers. This model aims to reduce costs and improve accessibility of internet services.
Context
News reports frequently discuss decentralized wireless projects as a disruptive force in telecommunications, particularly in underserved regions. The viability of these networks depends on widespread adoption and sufficient economic incentives for node operators. Regulatory bodies are beginning to examine the implications of these distributed communication systems for traditional licensing and service provision.
