Pollen Mobile: Pioneering The World’s First Decentralized, Privacy-Focused, and Affordable Wireless Network

Anthony Levandowski is the Co-Founder and CEO of Pronto, an autonomous vehicle company for the mining and trucking industries. In February of this year, Levandowski and his team launched Pollen Mobile, a decentralized mobile network built on the Solana blockchain and initially born out of the need for secure and reliable connectivity in remote operating sites. The peer-to-peer open source wireless network is privacy-focused, affordable and owned and operated by its users. Pollen, which is currently operational in the San Francisco Bay area, incentivizes its users with payments in its own cryptocurrency, PollenCoin (PCN) to run their own mini cell towers and build out the network’s coverage.
