Breaking Barriers to a Unified Global WiFi Network
Today, there are nearly 650 million WiFi networks worldwide. However, the average person’s access is limited to a few of these networks, usually at home, work, or in public places with restricted access. This situation reflects a significant contradiction: despite the ubiquity of WiFi infrastructure, accessibility remains scarce.
The internet is trapped behind passwords and expensive carrier plans, making it accessible to only a few. Integration between WiFi networks is necessary for users to benefit from a larger, global network where connecting would be as simple as walking into a WiFi zone.
The Necessity of Universal Internet Access
In underserved areas, internet access drives economic development by providing opportunities for education, remote work, and access to information. Additionally, it promotes social inclusion by helping onboard more people to blockchain technology, fostering financial inclusion, and spurring innovation.
Even in developed countries where internet access seems ubiquitous, it remains essential. Travelers need connectivity to navigate and stay connected, food delivery drivers often search for WiFi in public spaces to manage their orders efficiently, and businesses like restaurants need to offer WiFi to their customers as a service. Reliable and widespread internet access supports personal convenience and business operations and fosters economic growth.
Inefficient Utilization of Existing Networks
Despite the abundance of WiFi networks, their potential is underutilized. Each isolated network serves only a limited number of users, leading to a significant waste of resources.
Passwords protect WiFi networks, but they also limit access. The proliferation of password-protected networks means that even though WiFi is available, it is not accessible to those who need it most. Solutions are needed that balance security and accessibility. Also, high carrier plan costs are a significant barrier to internet access. For many, choosing between basic necessities and internet access is a harsh reality. This economic hurdle keeps millions offline and exacerbates the digital divide.
Wayru’s Vision: A Unified Global WiFi Network
Wayru seeks to maximize the utility of existing infrastructures, transforming them into accessible connectivity points for everyone.
By addressing these issues with a Decentralized Wireless Network of community-operated hotspots, Wayru empowers individuals to become Hotspot Operators. This model allows operators to earn rewards while providing local connectivity.
- Community-Operated Hotspots: Wayru’s network relies on community members deploying hotspots, creating a shared economy of connectivity and increasing access.
- Blockchain Integration: Blockchain technology ensures secure, transparent, and efficient network management, reducing costs, improving scalability, and rewarding all participants with tokens.
- Affordable Access: By decentralizing the infrastructure, Wayru lowers the cost of internet access, enabling more people to connect without the burden of expensive carrier plans.
- Rewards for Contribution: Hotspot Operators earn rewards based on the uptime and usage of their hotspots. This incentivizes participation and helps expand the network.
Wayru envisions a world where internet connectivity is seamless, affordable, and accessible to all. By integrating existing WiFi networks into a cohesive global network, Wayru will enable users to move freely between hotspots without the need for multiple subscriptions or complex login procedures. This approach optimizes the use of existing resources and democratizes internet access, breaking down barriers and connecting communities.
