In-Depth Analysis of Mobile Network: How Decentralized Mobile Networks Achieve Viral-Level Coverage

Mobile Network is Helium's mobile network business, belonging to the radio communication sector within the DePIN industry. This sector has a broad market space, with mobile networks accounting for 70% of the annual revenue in radio communication, making it a primary source of income. Mobile Network has the following advantages:

1. The associated track has great development potential and high profitability.

2. After Helium migrates to Solana, it will leverage its strong ecosystem to gain more user traffic and development space.

3. Currently occupies nearly 90% of the Helium network usage, with an average daily consumption of about $2K in DC to meet network demands.

4. The characteristics of low threshold and high coverage can stimulate token buying pressure and supply-side participation, forming a positive cycle.

The main participants of the Mobile Network include subscribers, mappers, service providers, hotspot hosts, hotspot suppliers, and oracles. Service providers and hotspot suppliers are required to stake a certain amount of $MOBILE tokens to receive rewards.

Helium Mobile is one of the service providers that incentivizes users to participate in network coverage construction through an innovative mobile operator model, utilizing cryptoeconomics to reduce costs and increase revenue.

Workflow: Mappers earn rewards by validating Hotspot operators' coverage networks for POC proof; operators receive network incentives after validation; Service Providers attract more users to the network through operations.

Mobile Network adopts Modeled Coverage( simulation coverage) POC proof method, introducing more data sources such as zoning and population density to achieve the effectiveness of coverage, and incentivizing operators to deploy in key locations.

$MOBILE is the native token of the Mobile Network, with a total supply cap of 230B. Its main sources of acquisition include:

1. Network participants: such as hotspot providers, POC coverage incentives, validators, etc.
2. Helium Mobile subscription service's mapper "Mapper"
3. Network Staking Rewards: Validators maintain network security by staking $MOBILE and receive rewards.

Main consumption scenarios:

1. Onboard Fee
2. Pay for Helium Mobile subscription service: Pay directly with earned $MOBILE.

The main feedback benefit of $MOBILE to users is governance voting. Users can obtain $veMOBILE by staking tokens, and holders can propose and vote for network updates and governance.

Mobile Network has the following advantages compared to traditional mobile networks:

1. Decentralization: Build the network through a crowdsourcing model to reduce industry barriers.
2. Low cost: Utilize idle resources of users, reduce infrastructure investment.
3. High coverage: The incentive mechanism encourages users to actively participate and rapidly expand network coverage.
4. Flexibility: Network deployment can be dynamically adjusted according to actual needs.

Challenges Facing Mobile Networks:

1. Regulatory Compliance: Decentralization networks may face challenges from traditional telecom regulations.
2. Network Quality: It is necessary to ensure that the decentralized network can provide stable and reliable services.
3. User Education: Popularize the concept of Decentralization in networks to increase user acceptance.

Future development direction:

1. Expand cooperation: Establish partnerships with more telecom operators to accelerate network coverage.
2. Technical Upgrade: Continuously optimize network performance to enhance user experience
3. Ecological construction: Attract more developers and enrich the Mobile Network ecological applications.
4. Globalization: Expand international markets to achieve broader network coverage.

Mobile Network, as a representative of decentralized mobile networks, is reshaping the traditional telecommunications industry landscape. Through innovative incentive mechanisms and technological architecture, it is expected to achieve rapid growth and widespread coverage, providing users with more open and flexible mobile network services.
