Qlink QLC basics and analysis for 2018

Qlink is one of the hundreds of cryptocurrencies launched in 2017. It is a decentralized mobile communication network. The network is intended for the construction of open sources of telecommunications infrastructure for the blockchain system. The Qlink platform is made up of telecom assets, a Qlink chain, operators, a public chain and end users. Blockchain technology is used on this platform and it helps in solving Wi-Fi sharing, mobile data access, and content distribution problems.

The Qlink crypto lets a user register, authenticate and sell various telecommunications assets. On this platform a person can;

• Share their Wi-Fi hotspot and be rewarded with QLC tokens. This is done using smart contracts.
• Purchase mobile data for content distribution
• Sell unused SMS enterprises. It is a decentralized E2P SMS service
• Deploy Qlink Base Stations supporting L TE-U protocol and PoW and PoS consensus algorithm mining. It serves as a decentralized telecom infrastructure.

How does Qlink work?

While using blockchain technology, Qlink platform utilizes digital identifiers when it comes to telecommunications assets. It repacks the assets and records information on the usage of the asset in the distributed ledger. Qlink platform is designed to launch apps which will make access to assets sharing easy for all. The assets shared include corporate SMS and Wi-Fi mobile data access. In order to make the existing networks even more efficient, the Qlink team plans to launch a base station which will include a model which can handle car installation. The Qlink Base Station will provide mobile data and Wi-Fi access and will also have the potential of mining. Using the Base Stations will help create a decentralized infrastructure and at the same time complement the existing network.
