A Hex is a defined coverage area represented as a hexagon on the World Mobile network map. Hexes allow precise network planning, ensuring optimal connectivity and efficient resource management.
What does a Hex Guardian do?
Hex Guardians manage and optimize AirNode operations within their Hex. They promote World Mobile subscriptions, support operators and hosts, and ensure reliable network coverage for their communities.
Who can become a Hex Guardian?
Anyone can become a Hex Guardian by purchasing a Hex NFT (HNFT). Ownership of an HNFT empowers individuals to actively contribute to network expansion and earn rewards.
Hex Guardian FAQs
- What are the responsibilities of a Hex Guardian?
Hex Guardians oversee AirNode operations, promote World Mobile subscriptions, and ensure optimal network coverage and reliability within their designated Hex.
- What is an HNFT?
An HNFT, or Hex NFT, represents ownership of a Hex on the World Mobile network. It grants the holder the right to manage AirNode infrastructure within their Hex and earn rewards.
- How does the Hex Guardian Program benefit the community?
The program enables community-driven telecom infrastructure ownership — aka your own telco franchise. It improves connectivity, creates local economic opportunities, and fosters collaboration among Hex Guardians, operators, and hosts.
- How can I prepare for the Hex Guardian Program?
Stay informed through World Mobile's updates and community forums. Research which location will be best for you to operate based on population density, demand, and potential partnerships. Ensure you understand the responsibilities of Hex ownership and consider the investment required for HNFT acquisition and AirNode operations.
- What support will Hex Guardians receive?
World Mobile provides resources such as technical guides, site planning assistance, and access to a community of Hex Guardians for collaborative learning and support. Join the discussion and get help from experienced Hex Guardians here: Hex Guardian Community.
- What factors affect the value of a Hex?
Hex pricing depends on population density, demand, existing network coverage, competition, and potential earnings. High-demand urban areas may sell for significantly more than rural locations.
- Can I partner with others to manage a Hex?
Yes, Hex Guardians are encouraged to collaborate with operators, hosts, and community members to optimize their Hex and ensure its success. You can search for local partners by city or by state to find others in your area.
- What happens if I don’t actively manage my Hex?
Active engagement, marketing, and infrastructure management are crucial for success. If a Hex Guardian fails to develop their Hex—such as deploying AirNodes, supporting users, or driving adoption—there may be consequences. Inactive Hexes could see reduced rewards, potential penalties, or even forfeiture of the HNFT if certain conditions are not met. Consistent effort is key to maintaining ownership and maximizing success.
- How do AirNodes work within a Hex?
AirNodes provide connectivity within a Hex, allowing users to access the World Mobile network. Hex Guardians earn rewards based on the revenue generated within their Hex, which comes from customer subscriptions, data usage, and other network services. The more users connect to AirNodes in your Hex and the higher their data consumption, the greater the earnings. Your success depends on actively growing network adoption in your area.
- Can I resell my Hex?
Yes, since Hex ownership is tied to an HNFT, it can be sold or transferred, allowing new owners to take over operations.
- Can I operate a Hex remotely?
Yes, while being on the ground can be beneficial, remote Hex Guardians can manage operations by hiring local teams, leveraging digital marketing, and overseeing logistics from afar.
