2 2 WISPAPALOOZA SHOW I OCTOBER 3 – 6, 2022 www.bekabusinessmedia.com L Z OO 2022 DAY 1 BLiNQ, Pollen Mobile Expand Decentralized Wireless Connectivity, 1 ‘Flower’ at a Time BLiNQ Networks’ new partnership with Pollen Mobile is expanding the growing decentralized networks in the United States, with an ecosystem of cellular radios or ‘flowers’ that will propagate connectivity. BLiNQ’s FW-300i under the Pollen product family, will be known as the ‘Sunflower.’ The Sunflower is a fully integrated, compact and high power CBRS wireless solution, which is simple to install and can be mounted on rooftops or on the side of tall buildings. As the most powerful ‘flower’ in its class, the Sunflower provides incredible capacity that is geared to expand Pollen’s coverage to remote communities and busy urban environments, providing owners with the highest potential return on their hardware investment. The other CBRS radio which will be adopted by Pollen is the versatile X-300i base station, aptly named the ‘Stargazer Lily.’ This unit’s indoor and outdoor variants enable a seamless transition for an inside-out and outside-in deployment. Its dynamic capacity switching puts owners in control of their coverage, so they can target distribution exactly where it’s required. “We see our partnership with Pollen as a significant step towards providing connectivity on a large scale,” said Patrick Buthmann, VP of Sales and Business Development at BLiNQ Networks. “The decentralized network model is clearly the path forward, where we are seeing the convergence of blockchain, 4G and 5G technologies that will make broadband connectivity more readily available. The incentivized aspect of de-wi is also a unique way of engaging and rewarding users of a network.” Pollen is the first privacy focused, anonymous, decentralized, 4G and 5G, open-source mobile network enabled by a crypto economy that is owned and operated by its users. Users and owners of the network can earn PollenCoin (PCN) by helping build, validate, and use the Pollen network. The Pollen Flowers are mobile network radios that provide wireless coverage and earn their owners PCN in return for the coverage provided and data hauled for end users. Pollen does not store the personal information of Flower owners. Flower ownership (and right to associated rewards payments) is registered via a non-fungible token (NFT) that is tied to the owner’s Solana wallet, enabling owners to maintain anonymity and transfer ownership of devices without requiring any centralized approval or registration. “We’re honored to be the first decentralized wireless network supporting BLiNQ’s innovative hardware,” said Pollen Mobile CEO Anthony Levandowski. “Our new BLiNQ Flowers will further expand the use cases for Pollen and we’re looking forward to soon unveiling some exciting applications where Sunflowers are already being deployed.” Additional information about Pollen Mobile can be found at www.pollenmobile.io For more information on BLiNQ Networks, visit booth 702 on the Exhibit Floor. m
