Wicrypt Partners with Kansi Solutions to Expand Decentralised Internet Access Across Europe
“This is the next step in our expansion plans to Europe” Aronu Ugochukwu, Wicrypt CEO and co-founder
Lagos, Jan 2024 — Wicrypt is excited to announce its partnership with Kansi Solutions, a leading hardware distributor that offers Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks) DePIN like Wicrypt the opportunity to scale by providing them with high-quality hardware locations to set up their nodes. Kansi Solutions has previously partnered with Helium network and GEODNET to distribute their hardware devices across European countries.
“Kansi Solutions’ mission aligns perfectly with that of Wicrypt. Their well-established locations in the European region will serve as a good vehicle for Wicrypt to scale and set up many Wicrypt hotspot nodes,” says Ugochuwku Aronu, the CEO of Wicrypt.
This partnership strategically combines the strengths of Wicrypt and Kansi Solutions to empower communities across Europe with decentralised internet access. Remote areas in Europe regions can now be connected through networks crowdsourced by a pool of individuals. This is the power of the DePIN ecosystem and Wicrypt is very excited to be spearheading this mission. Those in Urban and Suburban areas can also get more value for their internet access by activating services such as source-level parental controls, surveys from customers (for small and medium businesses), and access to the advertisement feature, which will all be available on the Wicrypt network soon.
“It’s great to see powerful synergy between peaq ecosystem members. It’s one of the many benefits to building in a DePIN-centric ecosystem,” says Leonard Dorlöchter, co-founder of Peaq. “The collaboration between Wicrypt and Kansi Solutions opens up new opportunities for both of the projects, their respective communities, and the entire ecosystem. This vast potential for collaborations and network effects between projects is one of many key reasons to build on a real-world focused blockchain.”
