Число пользователей роуминга превысило миллион: новая модель для децентрализованных операторов беспроводной связи

With the continuous evolution of blockchain technology, decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) has become a key driving force in the field of blockchain innovation. In this context, Roam, as a leader in the DePIN track, has redefined the future of wireless communications with its unique business model and technological innovation. By combining eSIM technology, OpenRoaming protocol and blockchain technology, Roam is revolutionizing the traditional wireless operator model and creating a new wireless network service ecosystem. This article will explore in depth how Roam promotes the transformation of global wireless networks through decentralized wireless networks, innovative incentive mechanisms and blockchain technology, and provides strong support for the widespread application of Web3.

The rise of new wireless operator business models

The emergence of Roam has brought a new business model for wireless operators – an operation model based on WiFiOpenRoaming technology and completely free to users. This new business model has achieved remarkable results in the actual implementation of Roam, not only promoting the global wireless network service to gradually shift from traditional centralized charging operations to a new model of decentralized deployment and free for users, but also expanding the global coverage of OpenRoaming, a WiFi upgrade technology, allowing users to seamlessly connect to supported WiFi networks around the world without having to repeat the login process.

Roam provides users with free and convenient WiFi access services by deploying OpenRoaming networks around the world, and by complementing eSIM services, users can switch between WiFi and cellular networks at any time anywhere in the world without changing SIM cards, and enjoy seamless network connections. At the same time, Roams token economics further consolidates the uniqueness of its business model. Users can earn Roam Points by participating in network construction, such as providing WiFi access services. These points can not only be burned and exchanged for tokens on $ROAM, but also points (similar to credit card points) can be exchanged for physical goods such as airline miles, phone bills, and other services. Through this point exchange mechanism, Roam provides users with a more flexible way of value exchange and a variety of usage scenarios.

This innovative economic system not only allows users to enjoy free global WiFi access services, but also expands the use scenarios of WiFi roaming services to a wider range of life and consumption areas through cross-platform interoperability with mainstream service providers in major industries around the world. For example, users can redeem points for traffic data, points cards, and even other commodities. This points as assets model gives users more flexibility, allowing project construction to be highly integrated with daily life, while improving the user stickiness and attractiveness of the platform. At the same time, Roams eSIM technology eliminates the range barriers of WiFi network access, giving users a global interconnection experience without dead ends, enabling Roam to achieve significant breakthroughs in user experience and stickiness.

Through this unique incentive mechanism, Roam not only creates a more convenient global wireless network ecosystem, but also promotes the global popularity of OpenRoaming networks. It not only brings real value to users, but also provides a new path for the sustainable development of wireless operators business models.

Blockchain technology helps OpenRoaming to be promoted globally

Although the OpenRoaming protocol has been proposed for many years, its global promotion still faces many challenges, including initial investment, identity authentication, security assurance, and the complexity of cross-border supervision. Roam provides innovative solutions to these problems by introducing blockchain technology, especially decentralized identity (DID) and verifiable credentials (VC) technology.

DID technology provides each user with an independent and secure digital identity, making identity verification more efficient and transparent. At the same time, Roam has also introduced zero-knowledge proof technology to improve the security of identity verification while protecting user privacy. Through these technologies, Roam can provide users with a more secure, convenient and globally interoperable network access experience, promoting the rapid popularization of the OpenRoaming protocol.

Combination of Web3 technology and decentralized wireless network

Roam is not only a leader in the DePIN track, but also an important example of the large-scale adoption of Web3 technology. The core advantages of Web3 are decentralization, autonomy, and data transparency. Roam has successfully integrated these concepts into the field of wireless communications by building a global WiFi network. In the Roam network, users can not only access global wireless resources anytime and anywhere, but also gain benefits by participating in network construction and governance, promoting the development of decentralized networks.

Roam achieves decentralized network construction through physical network nodes (such as Rainier MAX 60 routers). Each network node deeply participates in the construction of the Roam ecosystem while providing WiFi access services. In this way, miners can not only get Roam Points, but also receive more incentives from other ecological cooperation projects in the future (CDN, GameFi, SocialFi). Through Roam physical hardware, users can not only play an important role in network development, but also further promote the enrichment of the Roam ecosystem.

Strong data support and ecological expansion

Roams decentralized network is more than just a WiFi roaming network. It has developed into a powerful data support platform that provides critical data foundation for the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and AI technologies through more than 820,000 self-built nodes. By adopting blockchain technology, Roam ensures the transparency and security of all data, while providing reliable and valuable data support for emerging technology fields around the world.

With global expansion, Roam has achieved network coverage in more than 190 countries and regions, with more than 1 million users. This huge network not only makes Roams network services more stable and secure, but also promotes the healthy development of the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) track.

Latest progress: Breaking through one million users and global 1G free traffic campaign

Recently, Roam also announced an important progress: On November 7, 2024, the number of registered users of Roams App exceeded 1,021,333, making it one of the leaders in the DePIN field. At the same time, the number of Roams self-built nodes also exceeded 820,000, ranking second in DePINScan. With the continuous growth of global users and the expansion of network infrastructure, Roams vision of a global open wireless network is accelerating.

In order to further expand the user base and promote network development, Roam launched a global 1G free traffic campaign. Users only need to download the Roam App to receive 1G free traffic, regardless of region or number of people. In addition to obtaining free traffic by downloading the App, users can also obtain more free eSIM traffic by checking in at WiFi points, following Roams official social platforms, etc. This innovative campaign not only promoted the popularity of Roam network services, but also further improved user stickiness through convenient user experience.
