Weโve been working on a platform to create โsubnet DAOsโ: blockchain-based organizations which regulate, assist, and promote local Althea mesh networks.
This is Baba Musa Akanya, the first to make
@MakerDAO
dai payment in our Abuja network. The network there is growing fast, thanks to the Althea hotspot and Android app.
New relay in Abuja and.... A new network in Lagos just started! The stack of
@ubnt
liteAPs will be used to support the infrastructure of the network and provide mobile users internet access.
Althea is the platform for the future of the internet. Building faster, more affordable infrastructure in network after network. Now with presence in six states, we are launching the Althea blockchain.
Yes. It's worth waiting for...
Powered by KeyLTE.
Money-making. Data -owning. Crypto-wallet. Open access connector...full ownership, full autonomy. Can your router do that?
Nope.
LTE deployment in remote SE Oregon.
The Althea protocol provides interoperability and revenue share from middle and last mile, to fixed wireless and down to the cell phone, iot, and device level.

Althea and
@netequity1
today announced a strategic partnership to finance, build and operate last-mile broadband networks. Our first project will be in rural Nebraska, leveraging the fiber network owned by OPTK Networks, which spans over 6000 miles.
Worldโs largest egg, meet the Worldโs Smartest Router. Winlock, WA (Pop~1800, of โworldโs largest eggโ fame) now has an affordable, wireless, high speed network. Much of rural America lags behind in broadband access. Altheaโs broadband & LTE infrastructure is changing that.
Althea speedtest - 85 miles outside of a major city.
Plug and play technology means Althea networks can be built anywhere.
Faster, more affordable, locally run!
Althea networks can be built anywhere! User owned hardware and agile networking topology, means even challenging areas can be built in a sustainable way.

Going where no telco has gone before! Althea recently connected the remote Hart Mountain Refuge, across 16km of fiber and fixed wireless Althea mesh. The Ranger Headquarters, Firestation Bunkhouse, Biotech Science labs can now enjoy fast and resilient broadband.
Althea is always the best speed your hardware will provide by design - no tiered speeds. So this subscriber in rural North Carolina is not only getting affordable internet, it's nice and speedy too.

1/8 ๐ Introducing Althea, a purpose-built Infrastructure platform and
#blockchain
, enabling the coordination of multi-stakeholder networks and machine<>machine payments. Its design focuses on eliminating the highly centralized structure of telecom and legacy systems.
Since the start of the Covid stay-at-home recommendations our networks have grown over 32% and we have started on 5 new networks, one of which will break ground tomorrow.
AltheaL1 is the machine<>machine and
#RWA
settlement layer of the internet powering infrastructure finance.
Imagine a future where
- you can own a mile of fiber optic or other infrastructure
- Machines pay machines programmaticly, no more sales and middle management
- get paid
1/ Calling all builders, innovators, and supporters! ๐ We're thrilled to announce the launch of regional chapters to connect our community and advance Altheaโs mission of transforming global infrastructure and connectivity.
Through IBC, many different cosmos based projects can connect and use Cosmos Gravity Bridge to access ERC20 assets, like WETH, DAI, USDC, WBTC, and more, without having to operate the gravity orchestrator on their own chain.
