Why next-gen WiFi 7 is quickly becoming the future of DeWi

·4 min read

The next wave of connectivity isn’t coming, it’s already here and it’s WiFi 7…

At the Wireless Global Congress in Dallas, AT&T told us directly, “We want all the WiFi 7 locations you can give us.” That wasn’t a polite nod, it was a clear signal that telecom giants are actively looking to offload more data to high-performance, next-gen WiFi infrastructure—yesterday.

For XNET Mobile deployers, that’s not just validation, it’s a massive green light.

To meet the moment, we’ve launched the “Wi-Fly 7 Challenge”. A new incentive that rewards WiFi 7 deployments with double token rewards for +100GB/Epoch. Who’s ready for real-world infrastructure powered by DePIN and fueled by demand from the top?

Let’s unpack how to get involved and why now is an amazing time to plug into the XNET network.

WiFi 7: The Performance Layer

While Wi-Fi 6 gave us better multi-user efficiency, WiFi 7 changes the game entirely. With faster speeds, multi-link operation (MLO), and improved channel utilization, WiFi 7 doesn’t just support more users it prioritizes consistent throughput under load. 

In a world where offloading mobile data traffic is essential to keep networks stable and users connected, WiFi 7 is the most elegant answer yet. For dense public venues, urban centers, and rural dead zones alike, WiFi 7 APs are the new power tools of decentralized connectivity.

The networks that win will be the ones that deliver real value to the carriers and WiFi 7 is how we get there.

Introducing the Wi-Fly 7 Challenge

To accelerate deployment of these future-proof Access Points, XNET Mobile and the XNET Foundation have launched the “Wi-Fly 7 Challenge” — an ecosystem-backed initiative that doubles token rewards for APs that deliver when and where it counts.

If your Access Point offloads over 100GB per epoch (2 weeks), you will earn 2x $XNET for any data offload traffic beyond that threshold. That’s not a grant or a subsidy. That’s a performance-based payout designed to reward the hotspots doing the heavy lifting on the network.

💥 This challenge runs from Epoch 69 through 79.
Don’t miss your window to upgrade and earn.

We’ve also opened up our Brownfield Provisioning Program, letting any deployer onboard eligible WiFi 7 hardware for just $50/AP, whether it’s new, secondhand, or sourced from a trusted distributor.

What makes a great Wi-Fly 7 Location?

The XNET network is designed for performance in the places where traditional carriers struggle. That means ideal high-density locations include:

  • Busy commercial venues (cafes, restaurants, bars, nightclubs)

  • Transit hubs (stations, stops, airports)

  • Dense multi-unit buildings or shopping complexes

  • Outdoor urban centers and parks

  • Rural or signal-challenged areas with high-foot traffic

You don’t need a telecom engineering degree to scout these locations. Anyone can identify cellular dead zones and how diminished indoor signals affect the customer experience. Remember you are boosting cellular connectivity, seamlessly with XNET and Passpoint technology. Talk to employees, check the signal, estimate dwell time. If it’s busy and underserved, it's probably a great candidate.

Carrier Demand Is Here, NOW

With roaming agreements already live alongside AT&T, XNET isn’t just another crypto-native side project. We’re building a reliable Neutral-Host Network (NHN) that Tier-1 carriers are already tapping into. The more we can help offload data from congested cellular 5G infrastructure, the more valuable our network becomes and the more you earn.

This is the real-world utility DePIN was meant to deliver and the Wi-Fly 7 Challenge is how we xccelerate it together.


Join the Challenge and Lead the Future

If you’ve ever wondered when the right time to upgrade your current enterprise locations was, this is it.

WiFi 7 is the carrier-preferred path to scaling their networks and delivering the quality of service (QoS) today’s subscribers expect—and demand. XNET is the only decentralized wireless network rewarding deployers for delivering that standard. By installing Wi-Fi 7 infrastructure in high-impact locations, you're not just earning 2x $XNET rewards, you’re actively shaping a more resilient, scalable, and decentralized future for mobile connectivity.
