Mission
Bloxtel helps solve the world's persistent connectivity gap problem.
Infrastructure Cost and Return on Investment requirements slow down global rollouts of 5G mobile networks, keeping over 2.6 billion people and over 14 million organizations (including schools, hospitals, factories, farms, office buildings, etc.) either underconnected or completely unconnected to the mobile internet. The digital divide has significant negative economic impact, from remote villages in Africa or Asia to struggling farms in rural America or Europe. Reversely, increased connectivity penetration will lead to massive economic growth and drastically improve the lives of billions of people globally.Our mission is to develop innovative building blocks that make high-quality connectivity more accessible and affordable to people and things in our planet. We firmly believe that bringing together blockchain and telecom technologies will help accomplish our mission and herald an exciting new 6G era by 2030.
Bloxtel's mission is aligned with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. We are a proud member of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), which is UN's specialized agency responsible for ICT matters, and the GSM Association (GSMA), which represents the interests of over 750 mobile network operators worldwide. We are also a member of the OnGo Alliance which supports the adoption of 5G solutions for the US 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS).
