What is an AirNode?
An AirNode is a wireless access point that connects local users to World Mobile's network, delivering internet, voice calls, and text messaging services to your community.
What is a Host Operator?
A Host Operator does both jobs: they provide the location (Host) and manage the AirNode (Operate). This means they handle setup, keep the AirNode running, and earn rewards for helping grow the network.
What Do I Need to Be a Host Operator?
To be a Host Operator, you'll need:
- Funds to buy an AirNode
- A good location for installation (like a rooftop or open space)
- Reliable power to keep it running
- Basic tech ability to monitor and manage the device
How Much Can You Earn?
As a Host Operator, you earn in two ways:
- You’re rewarded for providing a good location with power and internet
- You earn based on your AirNode’s performance and how much it's used
By combining both roles, you unlock the full earning potential. Rewards vary based on usage, location, and uptime, and while they’re not guaranteed, they can add up as the network grows

AirNode Operator FAQ
Why become an AirNode operator?
Becoming an AirNode Operator lets you earn passive rewards while helping expand decentralized internet access. By contributing to the network, you're supporting digital inclusion and powering community-based connectivity, especially in areas traditional telecoms overlook.
Do I need technical skills to become an AirNode operator?

Yes, absolutely. There's no limit. Whether you're an individual or a business, you can scale up as much as you want.
How are AirNode rewards calculated?
AirNode rewards are influenced by multiple factors and are not guaranteed. Earnings depend on how your AirNode contributes to the network, and the calculation method can vary depending on the model you operate.
Key factors that may impact your rewards include:
- AirNode type and location: Different models and deployment zones have different earning potential
- User activity: More connected users and higher data, call, and text volume can lead to higher rewards
- Uptime and stability: AirNodes that stay online consistently tend to perform better
- For Spark AirNodes, rewards are mainly tied to the total revenue generated within the local area. For other models, individual performance, especially users and usage, plays a much larger role.
How do I monitor and manage my AirNode?
Operators can monitor their AirNodes in real-time using the dashboard. The dashboard provides performance metrics, alerts for issues, and tools for remote troubleshooting and configuration.
Are AirNodes difficult to maintain?
AirNodes are designed for minimal maintenance. Hosts ensure stable power, installation, and connectivity. Troubleshooting guides and support are available for resolving issues.
