A neutral-host mobile network that lets multiple carriers share decentralized Wi-Fi infrastructure to extend coverage.
The neutral-host network lets mobile carriers extend coverage by sharing decentralized Wi-Fi infrastructure instead of building their own. Operators enable roaming on existing setups in hours, connecting subscribers to a shared, carrier-grade network.
By pooling community-deployed hotspots, the network cuts the capital and time needed to expand reach and fill coverage gaps. Carriers gain added capacity and can turn infrastructure into a new source of roaming revenue.
