Location Type

A Location Type multiplier encourages deployments in high-value areas. To qualify for a multiplier, each hotspot deployment must complete a Deployment KYC process, submitting exact address details, installation photographs, and a 360-degree street view. This ensures accurate classification and an improved in-app experience for both Telco partners and end-users.

Location Type Descriptions

1. Non-KYC: Deployments lacking a completed Deployment KYC (missing address verification, photos, or 360° street view). These hotspots are also excluded from Premium Data usage rewards, such as carrier offloading.

2. Residential: Private homes, apartment complexes, and similar properties typically provide basic coverage for their residents.

3. Educational: Schools, universities, learning centers, and libraries that serve students, faculty, and surrounding communities. These deployments prioritize digital inclusion, access to academic resources, and connectivity in areas with limited or costly internet access.

4. Commercial: High-traffic venues with regular foot traffic and predictable customer bases, such as cafes, restaurants, retail shops, hotels, co-working spaces, and malls.

5. Special: Non-traditional or event-driven locations that experience concentrated surges of users but not continuous traffic, such as stadiums, concert halls, conference centers, pop-up events, and festivals.

6. Humanitarian: Deployments in underserved, vulnerable, or crisis-affected areas where connectivity supports essential needs, such as shelters, clinics, disaster recovery zones, refugee camps, or low-income communities. These hotspots aim to bridge the digital divide and ensure internet access as a fundamental human right.

Deployment KYC Requirements

1. Exact Address: Full street address including venue/house number, city, and postal code.

2. Installation Photos: Clear images showing the hotspot in its final mounted location.

3. 360° Street View: Panoramic capture of the surrounding area to verify traffic patterns and environment.

4. Location Declaration: Confirmation of whether the site is Educational, Residential, Commercial, Special, or Humanitarian.

Multipliers can take up to 30 days to be applied once KYC is submitted. Wayru will verify all submissions before applying the appropriate multiplier. Incomplete or incorrect KYC submissions will default to the Non-KYC multiplier. Continuous audits ensure data integrity and accurate reward distribution.
