A Host-Operator is someone who both owns the AirNode and hosts it on their own property. This means you take on the roles of both Operator and Host.

Here’s how to get started:

1. Find a location
Use the World Mobile Explorer to search for available deployment hexes. You must own or have permission to use the property where you’ll install the AirNode.

2. Reserve your location
Purchase an AirNode to secure your chosen spot. This locks in your deployment area and confirms your eligibility to host.

3. Install your AirNode
Our team will support you through the installation process to get your AirNode up and running.

4. Manage and maintain
Once installed,  you’re responsible for monitoring the AirNode using the Operator dashboard. You’re responsible for keeping it powered, connected, and secure.

As a Host-Operator, you keep the full share of potential rewards your AirNode generates.

World Mobile uses three types of wireless signals to bring people online: Wi-Fi, CBRS, and Band 71.

Each one is suited to different kinds of locations and coverage needs.

• Wi-Fi AirNodes
  These are best for small spaces like homes, shops, cafés, or local gathering spots. They cover about 150 metres and are great for connecting people nearby to the internet and mobile services.

• CBRS AirNodes
  CBRS uses a mid-range signal that travels farther than Wi-Fi. These AirNodes are ideal for neighbourhoods, small towns, or rural areas with scattered homes. They support more users at once and deliver faster speeds over a wider area.

• Band 71 AirNodes
  Band 71 uses a low-frequency signal that can travel long distances. These AirNodes are placed high up, on towers or rooftops, so they can cover large areas and keep other AirNodes connected too. They’re especially useful for reaching remote or hard-to-cover places.

Each signal type helps serve a different need. Together, they create full coverage, from busy cities to quiet villages.

Spark AirNodes are small Wi-Fi devices that provide internet within a 150-metre radius - perfect for homes, families, and small businesses.

They’re easy to manage and don’t need a local Host. Once deployed, you can operate them remotely through the AirNode dashboard.

Each Spark pays a fixed monthly reward, making it a simple way to support the network and start earning.

Titan AirNodes are large, long-range devices that support the wider World Mobile network.

They act as a backup layer, keeping people connected even in areas where other AirNodes or networks are unavailable.

This role has earned them the nickname “Overwatch” - they provide steady, reliable coverage across wide areas.

Because of their size and reach, Titans are installed in key locations like rooftops, towers, or tall buildings.

They help keep the network stable, strong, and always on.

Portal AirNodes are high-capacity devices that provide strong, wide-area coverage.

They’re often used to connect entire neighborhoods, businesses, or public spaces to the World Mobile network.

Portal AirNodes are usually installed on rooftops, towers, or other elevated structures to maximize their reach.

They require a Host - someone who provides the location and keeps the device powered and connected.

Operators manage the device remotely using the AirNode dashboard.

Portals played a special role in our relief efforts after Hurricane Helene ravaged North Carolina in November 2024. Read more here.

Apex AirNodes connect nearby Link AirNodes to the World Mobile network.

They act as a central hub, helping bring connectivity to homes, businesses, and public spaces.

There are two types:

• Apex 90, which supports up to 250 Link AirNodes

• Apex 180, which supports up to 500

Apex AirNodes are designed for high-density areas, where many people need coverage in a small space.

They help create a scalable network that grows with demand.

To learn more, visit the AirNode Guide.

Link AirNodes are small wireless devices that provide local internet and mobile coverage to people nearby.

They’re typically placed in homes, businesses, or public spaces, wherever coverage is needed.

Each Link connects to a larger AirNode, like an Apex or Portal, which acts as the main gateway to the internet.

This setup lets Link AirNodes extend coverage to areas farther from the core network connection.

You don’t need a Host to install a Link AirNode. They’re already deployed and ready to operate.

Operators manage them remotely using the AirNode dashboard.

Spark AirNodes are currently deployed in Pakistan, primarily around Lahore and Islamabad.

Spark AirNodes are designed to bring high-speed internet access directly to end users. They also connect with nearby Spark devices to form a mesh network, strengthening local coverage and creating a more resilient connection for everyone in the area.

Thousands of Spark AirNodes are already active - and more are added with each new drop, steadily growing the network across the region.

DePIN stands for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network.

It’s a new way of building real-world systems - like mobile networks - by using devices owned and operated by everyday people, not big corporations.

AirNodes are a core part of this movement. Each AirNode adds coverage and capacity to the network while shifting control away from legacy telecoms. Hosts and Operators earn rewards for helping run the network.

With DePIN, the infrastructure is distributed, transparent, and people-powered.

The online dashboard gives you live updates on how your AirNode is performing. It includes:

• Balance – Rewards available to claim

• Earnings – Total earned this month

• Upload/Download – How much data your AirNode has carried

• AirNode Status – Whether your AirNode is online or offline

• Uptime/Downtime – How often your AirNode has stayed active

No. Spark AirNodes pay a flat monthly reward.

Earnings vary depending on which AirNode you operate.. Spark AirNodes pay a fixed amount each month. Other AirNodes can earn potentially more if they connect more people. You can use the AirNode Earnings Calculator to get an estimate based on AirNode type.

AirNodes earn potential rewards based on AirNode type and usage. Some AirNodes earn a fixed monthly reward. Others earn variable rewards based on the number of people they connect. All rewards are generated from subscriber and customer revenue.

Yes. The AirNode dashboard supports managing multiple devices under a single account. You can monitor performance, track earnings, and manage each AirNode individually in one place.

No. You can operate an AirNode remotely from anywhere in the world using the online dashboard.

Whether your AirNode is across town or across continents, you can monitor performance, view earnings, and manage settings remotely.

To become an Operator, you purchase and manage one or more AirNodes. There are two ways to operate an AirNode, depending on the model.

For Portal AirNodes:

Portal AirNodes require a local Host to house the device. To operate one:

• Find a Host: Use the World Mobile Explorer to browse available Host locations. These sites are verified and ready for deployment.

• Agree on terms and purchase: Contact the Host, agree on installation and reward-sharing terms, and complete your AirNode purchase.

• Deploy your AirNode: Work with the Host to install the AirNode. In some cases, World Mobile can help coordinate a professional installer.

Once deployed, you manage the AirNode remotely through the Operator dashboard.

For Link, Spark, Apex, and Titan AirNodes:

These models are already installed and connected. They do not require a Host.

• Choose a location: Use the Explorer to browse available deployment zones and select your preferred AirNode.

• Buy and activate: Complete your purchase online. Once payment is confirmed, your AirNode is activated automatically and begins operating.

You can monitor and manage your AirNodes at any time using the online dashboard.

• To become a Host, you offer a location where an AirNode can be installed. This could be a rooftop, wall, or any outdoor space with good visibility, reliable electricity, and stable internet. You don’t need to buy the AirNode yourself or have technical experience.

• Here’s how it works:

• 1. Register your interest
  Apply through the World Mobile AirNode Sales Platform and complete the verification form.

• 2. Create your Host Profile
  Once verified,  set up your profile with basic information about you and the hosting location.

• 3. Install the AirNode
  After you're matched with an Operator, you’ll coordinate the installation. In some cases, World Mobile may help arrange a professional installer.

• 4. Keep it running
  You’re responsible for keeping the AirNode secure, powered, and connected. If there’s a problem, the Operator might contact you for basic troubleshooting.

As a Host, you earn a share of the potential rewards the AirNode generates - alongside the Operator.

Anyone with the right setup can become part of the network.

• Host: You need a suitable location with property permissions, a reliable power source, and business-grade internet. No technical background is required.

• Operator: You need to be financially capable of purchasing AirNodes. Operators typically oversee the device’s performance remotely using the AirNode Dashboard.

• Host-Operator: A Host-Operator meets both sets of requirements: property permissions and infrastructure on one hand, and financial capability to purchase AirNodes on the other.

How can you be part of the World Mobile network?

There are three ways to join the World Mobile network: as a Host, an Operator, or a Host-Operator. Each plays a vital role in expanding coverage and earning rewards.

A Host provides a place to install an AirNode. This could be a rooftop, wall, or any fixed outdoor space with a good view of the surroundings. To be a Host, you need to own or control the location, have steady electricity, and a reliable internet connection. No technical skills are needed, and you don’t need to buy the AirNode. Your job is to keep the hardware safe, powered, and online.

Hosts earn a share of the potential rewards generated by the AirNode, alongside the Operator.

An Operator purchases AirNodes and monitors how they perform using the online dashboard. Some Operators work with Hosts, while others operate pre-installed AirNodes that don’t require hosting. Operators earn potential rewards based on AirNode model and usage.

A Host-Operator does both. They buy the AirNode, install it on their own property, and take care of both the performance and the physical setup.

Each role helps grow a global, people-powered network. Every new AirNode means more coverage, more impact, and more opportunities to earn.

AirNodes are the backbone of the World Mobile network. Each one provides wireless coverage, bringing mobile data, cellular service, or Wi-Fi to the people nearby.

Anyone can buy and operate an AirNode from anywhere in the world. You don’t need to live where it’s deployed. Operators use our online dashboard to monitor performance and earnings in real time.

Some AirNodes need a local Host, a person who keeps the device powered and connected. Others are pre-installed and run remotely.

Together, Operators and Hosts help expand a people-powered network. And they both get rewarded for it. Some AirNodes earn fixed monthly rewards. Others earn more based on usage.

In short:

• AirNodes connect communities to the World Mobile network

• You can buy and manage one remotely

• Rewards depend on AirNode type and performance

This is how we reclaim control of connectivity. One AirNode at a time.

Your AirNode earns based on uptime and network activity—the more people connected, the greater the rewards. Use our earnings calculator to estimate your potential revenue.

Power the network. Get rewarded. Simple.

If you’ve got the right setup, you can be part of the network.

AirNode Operator: Financially capable of purchasing AirNodes upfront

AirNode Host: A suitable location with property permissions, stable power, and business-grade internet

AirNode Host-Operator: Meets both Host & Operator requirements

Check if you qualify and start earning from connectivity.

Join the network that pays you back. The World Mobile network is powered by AirNode Hosts, Operators, and Host-Operators—real people bringing real connectivity to communities.

• Hosts provide locations for AirNodes, earning rewards in return

• Operators monitor, manage and earn from AirNode activity

• Host-Operators do both, managing and hosting their own AirNodes
