Neighbor-owned, community enriched
Neighbor-owned is newly possible
A new kind of teamwork
Advances in cell phone technology have unlocked new ways of building wireless networks. Now, anyone can add coverage to a mobile phone network that is secure and helpful. Participants in the network earn rewards, but getting the network started requires believing in it’s potential – that’s where we come in.
Everybody wins
Frankly Wireless helps you see how valuable your location is to the network, and how it changes over time. When you want to take on the network rewards, we get out of your way. And in all cases, your customers get better cell phone coverage in a way that’s passive and feels magical.
Neighbor-owned is better connecting
How it works
We set up a discreet Wi-Fi-enabled microcell called a Hotspot in your business. As mobile phone users enter your establishment and passively utilize the coverage, we earn rewards delivered via the Solana blockchain.
On the first of each month, we report our rewards to you, giving you a clear view your location’s value to the network. When you’re ready, you can replace our Hotspot with your own and earn all the foward going rewards.
Want to skip our service and operate your own Hotspot right away? We love to see it. See our short guide here.
Start with us, risk-free
Our hosts are never obligated to stay with us for any period of time. And, as we’re deploying first generation hardware, you’ll be in a position to leapfrog into the next generation of the tech, when the hardware and Network are further developed.
A hard problem, a novel solution
Neighbor-owned infrastructure
We all rely on three major cell phone carriers to build and maintain cell phone coverage. What if instead we could supply our own coverage?
That’s the world Frankly Wireless is helping to make real. We fill in coverage gaps and unlock resilient, neighbor-owned coverage that’s supplemental to the coverage from the major carriers.
Why now? Because consumer demand for data and coverage is beginning to eclipse what the major carriers can accommodate – the problem is physics. Radio signals for high-speed data degrade quickly with physical obstructions.
Community built coverage results in a wireless network that is more resilient, more useful and makes connectivity local. And we make participating in this novel solution easy.
Join the effort on us, risk-free
To grow this supplemental cell phone network, we team up with friendly businesses to host our secure, WiFi-enabled Hotspots. Think cafes, corner stores, bars, salons and laundromats — anywhere with an already live internet connection can create better cell phone connections for their customers.
The opportunity is always clear
When phone users get data served by a local Hotspot instead of nearby towers, Frankly Wireless earns rewards (convertible to USD). Each month, we send hosts a concise email sharing precisely how valuable their location is to the network.
At any time, with no notice necessary, hosts are free to swap our Hotspot with one of their own and to take the rewards for themselves. Business by business, this is how the community begins to own a piece of the mobile network they use everyday.
This way, o hosts always know how valuable their location is, which they can begin to realize whenever they choose.
