Horizon Communications just launched its ICO pre-sale, for a limited time offering a 60% bonus for the 1st tier and a 45% bonus for the 2nd tier. Horizon is building an advanced wireless telecommunications infrastructure network, launching 1st in the Caribbean then looking to expand worldwide.

The company’s token, HRZN, is created on the ERC20 standard and will be used to gain access to services provided by the company, such as internet, cellular services, VOIP, IPTV and access to services through their blockchain partners such as Gladius and Bubbletone, with future partners already in the works.

The company has plans to list the token with exchanges, for example Binance who is opening offices in their headquarters of Bermuda. The HRZN token will be driven by the value it provides as more and more customers join the Horizon Communications network, based around their core service high speed internet services.

Simplicity for the non-cryptocurrency savvy customer is important for Horizon. On their customer portals, the company plans to make payment options as easy as possible, where on the backend any fiat or other crypto payments would be used to purchase the HRZN Token from various exchanges. With constant buy pressure put on the HRZN Token, through a seamless process for the customer, Horizon anticipates this would given an added value to the Token.

Potentially see several millions of USD worth of orders occurring yearly, as the company plans to expand into 6 countries in the 1st 5 years of operation. Horizon estimates that in the smaller markets in the Caribbean, 15% penetration is very possible. It’s numbers are more conservative in the bigger countries, with 1% being the goal in a few years. With those estimates in mind, it is possible that Horizon does over $100m USD in business within the 1st 5 years of operation.

Since the number of total tokens is limited to just 100m, everytime a customer purchases a Horizon service (monthly internet, cell phone usages etc) that transaction from their payment will be exchanged for the HRZN Token. Because Horizon wants to further cryptocurrency adoption, if the HRZN Token or other cryptocurrency is used, a 5% discount on the USD price of service will be applied.

With Horizon retaining 17% of the HRZN Tokens for the team and future use, the company is strongly motivated to not only provide a top rate telecommunication service, but also is aligned with the interests of the Token buyers to ensure they bring value to the company and the token.

Horizon’s Founder Gilbert A. Darrell stated “Horizon’s goal is clear and simple, provide the best telecommunication service possible, using advanced wireless technology and blockchain integration. We feel strongly that by providing a great core service, utilizing these technologies, we can provide a great customer experience while bringing value to the company and a strong use case for the token.”

Gilbert A Darrell is the Founder of Horizon. He has 18 years experience in information technology and telecom solutions, a veteran in Fire and EMS Services, a crypto enthusiast and a member of the Bermuda Government’s Cryptocurrency Task Force.

Horizon Communications is an upcoming fixed wireless internet and cellular service provider looking to provide services in Bermuda, the Caribbean, and Central America before expanding internationally.

While utilizing 4th generation and soon 5th generation wireless technology, it will also heavily incorporate blockchain and cryptocurrency technology, one of the 1st ISP’s in the world to do so and the 1st to tokenize their services using an Initial Coin Offering (ICO).
