How can customers purchase an AirNode from World Mobile?
Purchasing an AirNode is a straightforward process done through the AirNode Sales Platform.
You can purchase an AirNode in a few easy steps:

Choose the AirNode that suits your needs
Match with a host, if required
Proceed to checkout
Sign agreements
Make a payment
The process is designed to provide a seamless and user-friendly experience.
Is there a limit on the number of AirNodes an individual or entity can purchase?
You can purchase a maximum of 10 AirNodes in a single transaction, however there is no restriction in the total number of AirNodes that can be owned by an individual or entity.
What are the requirements to become an AirNode Operator, Host or Host-Operator with World Mobile?
To participate in the World Mobile sharing economy, you don't need any prior technical experience. However, you should have the financial capability to pay for the selected packages upfront. To become a host, you must also have a property with the necessary permission to host the AirNode infrastructure, either as the property owner or with landlord approval. Additionally, a business-grade internet connection and stable electricity source is required to provide a reliable service.
Can AirNodes be installed in every country?
Currently, AirNodes are limited to our priority rollout areas, but our aim to enable AirNode operation from anywhere in the world in the future.
Could multiple entities or individuals become Host-Operators of a single AirNode?
We do not support fractional operation of the AirNode. World Mobile insists on having one entity as the registered owner of the AirNode.
What is the expected timeframe to receive an AirNode after making a payment?
Portal and Titan hosts can anticipate receiving an AirNode ready to install within 30 days after the Operator makes the initial payment.
Link and Apex AirNodes are already installed and after purchase, should be visible within your AirNode Dashboard within 72 hours.
For more details, we recommend reviewing the terms and conditions section for comprehensive information.
How are the payouts being distributed?
Rewards will be claimable 30 days after the month ends. Operators can claim their rewards monthly through their dashboard. Once claimed, payments are received within 30 days. The rewards will be paid in fiat (USD) or stablecoin (USDC) within 5 working days after the claim.
Am I required to pay local taxes on the revenue the AN generates?
Operators are advised to consult with local tax professionals regarding any potential tax obligations related to a purchase.
What is the accepted form of payment?
We offer various payment options for your AirNode purchase. Accepted forms of payment include card payments, crypto payments through Crypto.com, and bank transfers. If you opt for a bank transfer, please note that a small non-refundable reservation fee will be required, as the payment processing takes 5-7 business days.
Do I need to have a US-based bank account to make a purchase or receive rewards?
No, World Mobile is a global business and you can be a remote operator from across the world, within permitted banking jurisdictions.
What are the different ways to join the World Mobile sharing economy through AirNode Sales?
There are several roles which enable participation:
AirNode Host-Operators – are individuals or entities actively engaged with the World Mobile network by hosting and operating an AirNode at a specific physical location.
AirNode Operators – are individuals or entities involved in remotely operating AirNodes within the World Mobile network but do not provide a physical location for hosting. Instead, they contribute to the network's operation from a remote location, facilitating broader network coverage.
AirNode Hosts - an entity or individual that provides a physical location for hosting an AirNode within the World Mobile network. However, unlike AirNode Host-Operators, they do not actively operate the AirNode. Their role is primarily to offer a site for network infrastructure deployment, electricity and internet connection.
Partnership Programme – Individuals or businesses can reserve a number of hexes. These hexes may encompass an existing spectrum zone or be tailored to partner’s needs. Partners can resell the infrastructure, including AirNodes and hexes, and eSIMs to residents, earning additional rewards.
Affiliate Programme – This program aims to promote the use of specific national eSIM on the project's network. Affiliates will have incentives for driving sales of these eSIMs.
How does World Mobile support the installation process of AirNodes?
Some AirNodes are purchased pre-installed. For the AirNodes which are not pre-installed, a specialised technical support team is ready to assist during this initial deployment phase, ensuring a smooth start to the network.
World Mobile is committed to streamlining the AirNode installation process with a comprehensive support system.
While B71 units require installation by a licensed professional, for all other installations, we are developing user-friendly resources such as clear manuals, instructional videos, and tools. These resources are designed to empower users to conduct independent installations effortlessly. The initial Reno deployment serves a dual purpose—internally assessing support needs and refining our resources based on valuable insights gained from the field.
Furthermore, World Mobile is actively building a network of certified installers to provide on-the-ground support from our existing community. This additional layer of assistance enhances the overall user experience and ensures that the installation of AirNodes is accessible and efficient.
How does the Partnership Program work?
The Partnership Program allows individuals or businesses to reserve a specific number of hexes. These hexes can be tailored to the partner's needs, covering existing spectrum areas or customized areas. Partners will be able to resell infrastructure components like AirNodes and hexes, as well as eSIMs to residents, thereby earning additional rewards while facilitating rapid expansion of the network.
