Bloxtel brings private 5G infrastructure onchain with Avalanche

Bloxtel, a San Francisco-based startup building decentralized private 5G networks, announced it is deploying its infrastructure on Avalanche alongside the launch of its AP 201 device. The AP 201 is Bloxtel’s flagship all-in-one 5G access point, designed to run full core network functionality at the edge rather than routing everything through centralized cloud infrastructure. The device supports US band 48 and international band 78, and it’s being manufactured through a partnership with Askey Computer Corp., a subsidiary of ASUS. What Bloxtel actually builds Founded in 2022, Bloxtel has positioned itself at the intersection of enterprise networking and decentralized technology. The company’s core innovation is its patented dSIM technology, which uses asymmetric PKI-based authentication to replace traditional SIM card infrastructure. In practical terms, that means device identity and network authentication happen through cryptographic key pairs rather than a physical chip tied to a carrier. The company also developed what it calls Open6GC, a core network platform that integrates AI-driven automation and predictive maintenance. Bloxtel has claimed some aggressive performance numbers f...
