Karrier One and AT&T have announced an agreement aimed at enhancing Wi-Fi coverage and adopting decentralized physical infrastructure networks.
Wi-Fi Coverage Expansion with Karrier One
As part of the agreement, Karrier One will increase AT&T's Wi-Fi offload locations using Hotspot 2.0/Passpoint technology. This will provide AT&T subscribers with secure, seamless Wi-Fi access in popular global destinations, improving network performance.
Web3 and Decentralized Networks
The partnership also reflects a broader shift in the telecom industry towards embracing Web3 innovations. Karrier One’s platform utilizes decentralized networks to enhance connectivity's resilience and efficiency.
Examples of DePIN on Solana
The 13 decentralized products deployed on Solana showcase the growing influence of such networks. Projects like NATIX transform data from Tesla dash cameras into mapping data sources, while Hivemapper collaborates with TomTom for cartographic solutions.
The agreement between Karrier One and AT&T highlights the potential of decentralized networks to improve mobile and Wi-Fi connectivity, providing users with a more reliable network.
