On Thursday, the Avalanche Foundation announced via X that Bloxtel is bringing private 5G infrastructure onchain with Avalanche.
The newly unveiled AP 201 combines an entire private 5G stack into a single unit: 5G radio and core, edge computing, and AI-powered network management.
Each physical AP 201 is registered on Avalanche, while Bloxtel’s dSIM technology moves subscriber identity and authentication onchain.
From factories and warehouses to hospitals and stadiums, this puts real-world telecommunications infrastructure directly on Avalanche.
Avalanche is an open-source platform for launching Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications and enterprise blockchain deployments in an interoperable, highly scalable ecosystem. Avalanche is a layer-one blockchain that functions as a platform for decentralized applications and custom blockchain networks. It is one of Ethereum’s rivals, aiming to unseat Ethereum as the most popular blockchain for smart contracts. It aims to do so by having a higher transaction output of up to 6,500 transactions per second while not compromising scalability.
This is made possible by Avalanche’s unique architecture. The Avalanche network consists of three individual blockchains: the X-Chain, C-Chain, and P-Chain. Each chain has a distinct purpose, which is radically different from the approach Bitcoin and Ethereum use, namely, having all nodes validate all transactions. Avalanche blockchains even use different consensus mechanisms based on their use cases.
AVAX is up 5% today and currently trades at $7.93 per coin.
