Pollen Mobile and BLiNQ Networks are excited to announce their new hardware partnership. The partnership will launch with the introduction of two new Flowers to the Pollen ecosystem: The ‘Sunflower’ and the ‘Stargazer Lily’.
The BLiNQ Sunflower (FW-300i) is a high powered, three-sector outdoor unit that provides 180 degrees of coverage via three integrated 60 degree antennas.
The BLiNQ Stargazer Lily (X-300i) is a three-sector indoor / outdoor small cell that provides 360 degrees of effective coverage via three integrated 90 degree antennas.
Both Flowers will come configured to operate on Pollen’s recently launched Greenhouse architecture which eliminates the need for a local physical gateway, reducing the cost and complexity of deploying Pollen infrastructure.
“We see our partnership with Pollen as an important step towards increasing access to connectivity,” says Patrick Buthmann, VP of Sales and Business Development at BLiNQ Networks. “The decentralized network model is clearly the path forward, where we are seeing the convergence of blockchain and 4G / 5G technologies that will make broadband connectivity more readily available. The incentivized aspect of Pollen is a unique way of engaging and rewarding both providers and users of a wireless network.”
“We’re honored to be the first decentralized wireless network supporting BLiNQ’s innovative hardware”, said Pollen Mobile CEO Anthony Levandowski. “Our new BLiNQ Flowers will further expand the use cases for Pollen and we’re looking forward to soon unveiling some exciting applications where Sunflowers are already being deployed.”
