World Mobile to expand in Africa.

  • World Mobile has successfully completed field tests of its DeWi technology in three African countries.
  • The countries selected for the tests were Kenya, Mozambique, and Nigeria.
  • The successful field tests follow the launch of World Mobile’s commercial network in Zanzibar.

World Mobile, a decentralized wireless network that also operates the World Mobile Token (WMT), has announced that field tests of its DeWi technology in three African nations were successful. The experiments carried out in Kenya, Mozambique, and Nigeria show the adaptability of World Mobile’s hybrid connectivity solution, thus opening the door to a rollout throughout the African continent.

Thanks to World Mobile’s decentralized wireless network, rural areas that are typically underserved can now have access to reliable and affordable internet service. World Mobile successfully tested TV White Space technology in Kenya and Mozambique, utilizing unused spectrum in the TV broadcast band to provide mobile network services.

The field test in Nigeria made use of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet constellation as a backhaul method. By combining TV White Space and Starlink, World Mobile is able to take advantage of the infrastructure and spectrum resources already in place and expand the reach of its network.

World Mobile CEO Micky Watkins expressed his excitement after the successful tests:

“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.”

World Mobile’s commercial network in Zanzibar

Prior to the tests in Kenya, Mozambique, and Nigeria, World Mobile had launched its commercial network in Zanzibar, where more than 300 AirNodes offer wireless connectivity to more than 16,000 users each day.

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. The goal is to establish a sharing economy that will provide funding for the construction of communications infrastructure throughout rural Africa and beyond. Its decentralized wireless (DeWi) solution offers connectivity for a lot less money than conventional mobile network providers.
