Decentralized network uplink with 40,000 routers is the first to reduce the cost of the Internet
Uplink has reached the milestone of 40,000 routers, which shows the growth potential of decentralized wireless networks.
Applink is a decentralized communication system that aims to create more cost-effective networks for WiFi, 5G and other cellular technologies for existing and new Internet infrastructure.
Underscoring the growing demand for decentralized internet infrastructure, Applink has reported the milestone of 40,000 routers worldwide, according to an announcement made exclusively to Cointelegraph.
This success reflects growing demand for cost-effective Internet solutions, said Carlos Ley, CEO of Applink. “We're seeing mass adoption happen by integrating existing and new wireless infrastructure into our connectivity ecosystem,” Leigh said. He added:
“This achievement confirms the expansion of decentralized communication and its potential to shape how wireless networks operate globally.”

Uplink is part of a broader technology transition known as a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network, or DPin. Unlike centralized Internet service providers, AppLink allows users to actively contribute to the network in lieu of passive income to offset their Internet costs.

Applink aims to reduce internet costs by over 50%.
Uplink's primary mission is to reduce the cost of Internet access for end users by over 50%. Continuous adoption can reduce costs by up to 90%, Leigh said. “One of the biggest obstacles to global Internet access is the persistent digital divide – many regions struggle to afford reliable connections due to factors such as inflation, corruption and high infrastructure costs,” Ley told Cointelegraph. He added:
“Applink's decentralized model provides a direct solution by allowing individuals to use their existing devices or deploy new ones while monetizing their contributions to the network.”
In order for these cost reductions to be passed on to end users, Applink aims to significantly reduce the capital expenditure and operating costs of Internet Service Providers.

Deepening is one of the fastest growing industries with an estimated total addressable market of over $2.2 trillion.
The DePIN industry is expected to reach more than $3.5 trillion by 2028, an increase of more than $1.3 trillion from January 2023, according to a Messari report.
Applink is looking to capture at least 5 percent of the growing DePin industry as a decentralized communications solution, Leigh said.
“This is not just a theory,” he said. It is a practical, scalable solution that can transform the global Internet. We believe that with the right infrastructure and community support, this vision is fully achievable.
Over the next decade, Applink hopes to support more than 300 Internet of Things devices and save telecom companies more than 10% in annual costs by offloading Internet traffic from their existing infrastructure.
