ElyNet claims to be the world’s first global blockchain telecom company in a report by Cointelegraph. ElyNet is the 4th largest Telecom service provider in South Korea.
NY Union Mobile, which worked to become the fourth mobile carrier in Korea, has officially announced the launch of their blockchain project ‘ELYNET’. The project is designed to provide differentiated mobile services using blockchain technology while leaving behind regulatory hurdles for approval as a mobile network operator.
As a decentralized telecom project, ELYNET uses blockchain technology to make communication more efficient for users who currently rely on a single carrier for telecom service. Through ELYNET, users can freely use data communication services without the drawbacks of existing wireless carriers such as roaming fees and contracts. The ELYNET project effectively eliminates the need for expensive data centers for wireless communications, allowing users to enjoy superior telecom quality at dramatically lower costs.
What is ELYNET?
Touted to be the Mobile Blockchain Revolution, it provides full telecom services, powered by blockchain technology. The promise by the company is cheaper data with no roaming fees, no data expiry and no hassles. Further down is a diagram showing how it works.
