World Mobile, the decentralized wireless network and operator of the World Mobile Token (WMT), has successfully completed field tests of its DeWi technology in three African countries: Kenya, Mozambique, and Nigeria. This follows the launch of World Mobile’s commercial network in Zanzibar.
The field tests show the adaptability of World Mobile’s hybrid connectivity solution, providing reliable and affordable internet access to rural and underserved areas. TV White Space technology was used in Kenya and Mozambique, and SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet constellation was utilized as a backhaul method in Nigeria.
World Mobile CEO Micky Watkins stated: “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.”
In order to build a global community-owned wireless network that can close the digital divide and promote social and economic inclusion, World Mobile intends to extend its network to more nations in Africa and other regions. Through its decentralized wireless (DeWi) solution, it offers connectivity for a lot less money than conventional mobile network providers.
