Skypier is a community-based marketplace for listing internet access points, Nodes, such as WiFi hotspots, and rerouting internet traffic through these Nodes in encrypted channels. We have developed a secure communication protocol to ensure a private peer-to-peer (P2P) connection beyond just messages like WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram. This means it can handle the high throughput requirements in applications such as streaming and gaming. Any internet-connected device can be a peer, e.g., phone, laptop, tablet, IoT devices such as Roomba and Smart TV, etc.
đ Our protocol is serviceable to both Enterprise as well as individuals. For Enterprise services, please see the Enterprise section below.
There are generally two types of peers in our marketplace: host and client users. A Host user is anyone who leases out a portion of their internet bandwidth, and a Client user is anyone who subscribes to access the internet through a Hostâs Node. The Host would then earn from the Clientâs subscription fee. As a marketplace, we connect hosts and clients and facilitate the process of rerouting the Clientâs internet traffic, cultivating a sharing economy by allowing Node Hosts to rent out their unused or underused bandwidth.
Recognizing the desire to have control over the network infrastructure, we offer enterprise-level service for organizations to self-manage their IT security. As a privacy stack with Zero-Trust access control, we can help you secure and protect your data through purposeful data fragmentation and encryption. For more information about our Enterprise Support, please reach out through the Inquiry Form and discuss how we can strengthen your organizationâs security infrastructure.
How may I qualify to be a Host?
The main requirements are a stable internet with an upload speed of 50 mbps or higher, and a computer that is on and connected constantly.
How much may I earn as a Host?
This may vary due to a number of factors, such as the supply and demand for your location and internet speed.
What if we donât have a computer that can connect to the internet constantly?
We are currently developing a solution so that you may use a low-cost computer such as a Raspberry Pi. We will share an update once itâs available!
How would I know if the Node I am connecting to is not a owned by a bad person?
We are implementing a Host scoring system so that you can see their internet quality and if they have been reported with negative reviews.
