Have you had a chance to go through the newly published AYA whitepaper? If not, this link provides a comprehensive summary of the key takeaways and main points covered in the paper: 🔗tinyurl.com/bdexkmhu [img:y1PwGBWe8]

I find World Mobile's Twitter post regarding the installation of new #AirNodes and their specific locations quite engaging. One of the recent AirNodes was set up in Kiembe, #Zanzibar, and it links multiple educational establishments, including Kiembe Samaki Secondary School.[img:8CvMcMNlo]

The Dev Diary for March 2023 has been released and we got you covered with the most exciting highlights through a short video that we made. [img:vid-jf2hT-o5n]

The Twitter space yesterday was filled with a lot of updates from the World Mobile team, making it a busy and informative session. In case you missed it and would like to listen to it again, the recording is available below: twitter.com/i/spaces/1yoKMZVwymlGQ?s=20

The team made a few updates, including a new and improved roadmap that is more interactive and dynamic. Personally, I find this approach to be preferable! You can check it out by going to the link below: trello.com/b/xCiCFZn7/wm-roadmap

In the Twitter space, we learned that EarthNode operators will have a monthly call on Discord to share development updates and address any technical queries. Keep an eye out for further information from the team regarding this. [img:-VXpfAkd7]

Another news that was made is regarding the VPN-As-A-Service module, which will be one of the 1st modules to be launched. It operates as an "AWS decentralized over ENs" and will offer APIs that are initially meant for WM, but will eventually be open for anyone to use & develop. [img:gif-teVxrBIaz]

Additionally, it was revealed that the launch of the aerostat in Zanzibar is imminent, and it may be just a matter of weeks before it takes place. So, stay tuned for some exciting updates and celebrations when it happens! [img:DXkKNg5KF]

The team also shared a photo of their Kenya rollout, which included their very 1st TV white space field testing that was confirmed to be successful. TVWS is a free spectrum that is available in Kenya & is one of the many backhaul methods that WM will use for connectivy.[img:70DNmfpD-]

During the space, it was confirmed that Starlink would be utilized as a backhaul method for the Nigeria roll out. Additionally, we were informed that World Mobile is presently collaborating with local partners to assist and advance the deployment process. [img:gif-DRVrAv0jL]

We received another noteworthy update regarding the deployment in #Mozambique. We were provided with a photograph of the initial AirNode that has been deployed, and to be candid, the location seems somewhat familiar 👀 [img:XGNyQa18P]

The final space update that I want to highlight is that World Mobile has announced the official opening of registrations for the community to take part in the global Android app beta program. You can apply for the program by visiting the following link: 🔗beta.worldmobile.io [img:s3agsuqQL]

I would like to take a moment to extend my birthday wishes to two highly diligent and significant members of the World Mobile team, @andrew_s_wm and @nicksoper Your invaluable contributions to the team and our community are highly appreciated. Happy Birthday to both of you! [img:gif-wubecFZ3A]
