In-Depth Analysis of Mobile Network: How Does Decentralization in Mobile Networks Achieve Viral Spread Coverage?

Mobile Network is Helium's mobile network business, belonging to the radio communication field in the DePIN track. As a decentralized 5G network, it allows users to provide network coverage by purchasing dedicated hotspot devices and receive $MOBILE token incentives.

Mobile Network has the following key features:

1. Low Threshold High Coverage: Users only need to purchase hotspot devices to participate in network construction, making the threshold relatively low. Moreover, mobile networks are a necessity in people's daily lives, with fast coverage efficiency.

2. Powerful ecological cooperation: Establish partnerships with leading operators such as T-Mobile and Telefónica to quickly achieve business deployment and expansion.

3. Solana Ecosystem Boost: After migrating to Solana, leveraging its strong performance and rich ecosystem will bring more user traffic and development space for the Mobile Network.

4. Innovative mining mechanism: Incentivizing users to participate in network coverage construction through methods such as "Mapping".

5. Dominating the Helium network: Currently accounting for nearly 90% of the Helium network usage, with an average daily consumption of about $2K in DC.

6. Token economic model design: adopting a reduction mechanism for emissions, mainly allocated to network contributors. At the same time, mechanisms such as Onboarding Fees are introduced to expand token consumption scenarios.

The data shows that the development momentum of Mobile Network is strong:

• The number of active hotspots has reached 4237, mainly concentrated in the United States, Europe, and certain areas of China.
• The number of holding addresses surged from around 15K in early December to 45K.
• The daily network consumption is approximately $2K, which is more than 5 times that of IoT.

However, Mobile Network also faces some challenges:

1. There are many device restrictions, raising the participation threshold.
2. There are regulatory and legal risks.

Overall, Mobile Network, with its low threshold, high coverage characteristics, and strong ecological cooperation, is expected to become a major force in promoting Helium's development. It not only brings innovative models to the DePIN track but also provides new ideas for the future development of decentralized mobile networks.
