2022XNET operates a decentralized neutral-host mobile network offloading cellular data onto community Wi-Fi hotspots.
XNET operates a neutral-host model open to any mobile or virtual network operator, letting multiple carriers share one decentralized infrastructure rather than building separate networks. Its Passpoint and Hotspot 2.0 integration moves devices onto the network automatically, without captive portals or user action.
By incentivizing independent operators to deploy and maintain hotspots, XNET expands coverage with little upfront capital compared with carrier-owned buildouts. The blockchain-based reward system ties operator earnings to network usage and demand.

Demand for mobile data keeps rising while operators face high costs to expand coverage, creating an opening for offload and neutral-host models. Decentralized physical infrastructure networks have drawn growing investor and carrier interest across the wireless sector.
XNET competes among decentralized wireless projects such as Helium and other DePIN networks, differentiating through carrier partnerships and Wi-Fi offload rather than consumer cellular plans. Continued carrier adoption will determine how far the neutral-host approach scales.

XNET provides carrier-grade Wi-Fi offload as a decentralized network that connects mobile subscribers to community-deployed hotspots. Traffic transitions from cellular to XNET automatically through Passpoint, authenticated with carrier-issued credentials.
The offering targets mobile operators seeking added coverage and capacity, alongside deployers who install hotspots and earn rewards. Access and settlement are coordinated on-chain through the network's token system.
