Benefits for a taxi company:

  1. Reduced equipment costs - There is no need to invest in WiFi routers for each vehicle. The driver uses their smartphone as a hotspot, significantly reducing implementation costs.
  2. Automated service - When a passenger selects the WiFi option while booking a ride, the system automatically activates the driver’s hotspot at the trip’s start. This streamlines management and ensures smooth operation.
  1. Additional revenue - The WiFi service can be offered at a 10% markup on the trip fare. This streamlines management and ensures smooth operation.
  2. Competitive advantage - Offering in-app WiFi makes the service more attractive to customers who value connectivity. This can help increase the company’s popularity.
  3. Simplified management - The service can be managed in the app, allowing for tracking WiFi usage, analytics, and, if needed, easy deactivation for specific drivers.

Benefits for drivers:

  1. Increased earnings - Drivers earn additional income through a 10% trip fare increase for WiFi usage. This requires no extra investment as drivers use their own smartphones.
  2. Convenience - The WiFi starts automatically for WiFi-enabled trips, freeing drivers from manually managing the connection. The driver doesn’t need to manage settings or turn on/off the connection — everything is handled by the system.
  3. Competitive advantage - Drivers who offer WiFi may attract more passengers. This can boost orders, as customers often prefer vehicles with internet access.

    Wi-Fi for calls and data transfer alleviates network load, especially in crowded areas and during peak times.

  3. Increased customer satisfaction

    Allowing Wi-Fi for communication and internet access boosts customer satisfaction and loyalty by enhancing service availability and quality.

For social nets (Messengers)

Kudo Logo

The implementation of KUDO technology in social networking applications (messengers) can transform user interaction with internet and mobile services. This technology allows users to automatically share mobile internet with others via smartphones, providing access even among strangers, and receive similar access when needed.

Benefits for companies:

  1. KUDO technology as a USP

    The implementation of automatic Internet sharing through the application creates a unique feature distinguishing your app from competitors. KUDO technology forms a decentralized network where users can connect through one another, making your app essential.

  1. The application becomes essential for users

    Easy, automatic internet access through the app makes it indispensable. This extends app usage time and deepens user loyalty.

  2. Create the largest free WiFi network for users

    By facilitating automatic internet sharing among users, the app builds one of the largest free WiFi networks exclusively for its users. This boosts connections and active user numbers.

  3. Broader reach for advertising and business messages

    With the network expanding through automatic internet sharing, the reach of advertising campaigns grows. Advertising messages, notifications, and offers can be sent whenever users connect to the app-created network.

  4. Increase in app Installations

    By facilitating automatic internet sharing among users, the app builds one of the largest free WiFi networks exclusively for its users. This boosts connections and active user numbers.

  5. Higher active users per month

    Since users regularly connect through your app, activity and usage frequency rise. This has a positive effect monthly active user metrics.

  6. Revenue growth

    The app serves as a platform for monetization via advertising or paid features. Automatic internet distribution opens up new opportunities for paid service and subscription integration.

  7. Increase company capitalization

    With an increase in users and income, the company becomes more valuable to investors and partners, raising its capitalization.

For Telematics Services for Automotive and Traffic Management

Equipping app-based taxis with WiFi service by using the driver’s smartphone as a hotspot

Kudo Logo

Using mesh networks that leverage driver smartphones for road transport and traffic management offers significant benefits:

  1. Efficient transmission of traffic data

    Drivers' smartphones exchange data in real time, supplying up-to-date information on traffic jams, accidents, road repairs, and other incidents. This enables faster reactions by drivers and traffic management systems.

  2. Reduced latency and fast response

    Mesh networks offer low-latency data transmission, with information relayed between nearby devices. This accelerates on-road decision-making, such as maneuvers, detours, and route changes.

  1. Wide coverage and flexibility

    More network participants increase efficiency. The number of participants, such as drivers with active smartphones, varies constantly, enabling the network to adapt to changing conditions and cover extensive areas.

  2. Support for cooperative systems

    Mesh networks enable interactions between vehicles (V2V, vehicle-to-vehicle) and infrastructure (V2I, vehicle-to-infrastructure), enhancing road safety and optimizing traffic flow coordination.

  3. Reliability and fault tolerance

    In mesh networks, devices connect directly, forming a decentralized network. If a device disconnects, data reroutes through other devices, maintaining resilience against individual node failures.

  4. Resource savings

    Unlike standard networks, mesh networks utilize smartphone resources, avoiding the need for costly infrastructure creation and maintenance.

Thus, mesh networks built on drivers’ smartphones present an innovative solution for enhancing traffic management, boosting safety, and improving transport efficiency.
