Test Nodes

Participation in the Qualoo Test Network is open to all individuals or businesses, and it can be done in three ways

• Fixed Test Node: A hardware device that the individual purchases from Qualoo that comes with the necessary software pre-installed or a dedicated smart phone or other compatible device with Qualoo application installed that is physically connected to a wi-fi router or modem via ethernet cable.

• Mobile Test Node: Individual's own smartphone or tablet with Qualoo native application installed and Test Node activated.

• Browser Extension. Simple web based Qualoo native application installed on any computer.

Each of these methods provides different types of test data, and both have their specific advantages.

Mobile Test Nodes: These can use any smartphone. Since smartphones can move around, the data they provide is dynamic, reflecting the performance of different networks in different locations. This can be particularly relevant in developing markets, where many users rely primarily on mobile data.

Fixed Test Nodes: These are directly connected to the user's router and remain in a fixed location. They offer a consistent measure of the network's performance in a particular setting. The data from these Test Nodes is especially valuable to some of Qualoo's target clients, who place a premium on stability and consistency.

Rewards System: Rewards for participating in the network and conducting tests are issued in the form of QXT tokens. The potential for earning rewards is higher for Fixed Test Nodes, to compensate users for the initial purchase cost of buying the Test Node (approximately $50).

Control and Flexibility: Once set up, users become part of the Qualoo Test Network and can start earning rewards. However, users maintain full control and can suspend their participation at any time through the application's settings.

By offering different ways to participate and incentivizing users through token rewards, Qualoo is enabling the widespread and diverse data collection necessary to accurately measure and improve Internet performance across a broad range of settings and circumstances.
