The Mini facilitates internet-based income generation.
FREMONT, CA: "The Mini makes it easy for people to earn income from the internet they already pay for. These ushers in a new era to the gig economy," says Josh Berger, co-founder of PKT Pal. The Mini by PKT Pal is PKT Pal's newest product, as disclosed by the company. The Mini is an Open Mesh WiFi technology that enables individuals with high-speed internet to earn money by securely sharing access to the internet. Each Mini has a complimentary Edge Extender antenna for increasing Open Mesh access. This product is suitable for both business and residential establishments.

"The Mini turns an internet expense into a revenue stream. It's now possible for residents and business owners to safely share online access with neighbors, tenants, or customers," adds Berger.
With a focus on security, PKT Pal develops plug-and-play hardware and user-friendly software to assist people throughout the world in monetizing their internet access. The Mini operates on the PkteerOS software, which features an intuitive dashboard, income tracking, network statistics display, and an integrated VPN and digital PKT wallet. The PkteerOS does not require a license fee and may be paired securely with a PC or mobile device.
The Mini generates income through PKT mining and WiFi sharing. PKT mining generates revenue each minute a device is connected to the internet instead of WiFi sharing. WiFi sharing offers secure, password-free WiFi sharing using an Open Mesh network. When within range, "PKT Free Internet" will appear as an open network that provides free Internet access. Providers are compensated when consumers pay a minimal weekly charge for a rapid streaming service.
"While there is so much bandwidth being wasted every day, WiFi sharing repurposes that bandwidth to provide internet access as a public utility. This helps make the internet accessible for everyone," says Caleb James DeLisle, PKT Pal co-founder.
In contrast to closed mesh systems such as Amazon Eero, Google Home, and Ubiquiti, the Mini employs Open Mesh, VPN, and captive gateway; thus, no password is required. End-to-end encryption offers easy online access with safe and secure data privacy.
The Mini provides Open Mesh protection for up to 1,000 square feet, and each Edge Extender increases coverage by an additional 1,000 feet. Five Edge Extenders can be daisy-chained with a Mini to maximize the WiFi sharing range.
The Mini costs $499 and comes with one free Edge Extender (a $150 value), unlimited WiFi sharing, and a PkeerOS software license. The only deposit required to secure a Mini is $99. In April 2023, the Mini will begin delivering worldwide (with a few exceptions).
