The appeal of DePINs? It’s undeniable — the potential to disrupt trillion-dollar industries while empowering individuals to build their own mini-businesses is pure magic.
But here’s the catch: It’s not the cost of hardware that holds most people back. It’s the sheer effort, expertise, and time needed to deploy and manage it all. What starts as a “side hustle” can quickly feel like a full-time operation, making it a major barrier for many to get into DePINs.
Enter Dabba where we’re not just creating affordable decentralized internet services for underserved communities in India,but we’re also flipping the script on the traditional hardware deployment model.
With Dabba’s managed deployment model, we handle it all.
What is Managed Deployment, and How It Makes Your Life Easier
With Dabba’s DePIN model, owning a Dabba Lite Hotspot is as easy as it gets. Forget about the stress of deployment, maintenance, or finding the perfect location — we’ve got it all covered. Here’s how Dabba’s Managed Deployment Model changes the game:
Hassle-Free Hardware Deployment
Unlike other decentralized wireless projects, you don’t need to scout locations or physically deploy hotspots. Our trusted on-ground partners (LCOs) handle everything for you. These LCOs (Local Cable Operators) are seasoned pros with years of experience, ensuring your hotspots are placed in the best locations by experts who know the business inside out.
Choose Your LCO Partner
Post mainnet launch (after TGE), you’ll be able to choose your LCO partner through the Dabba Network Explorer Dashboard. You’ll find a list of active LCOs with key performance metrics, including uptime, hotspots deployed, data consumption, and more. This transparency helps you pick the partner that’s right for your business.
Seamless Backhaul Management
Dabba also handles backhaul providers — ensuring high-quality internet connectivity at lower costs. By securing the best deals from backhaul providers, we cut costs across the ecosystem, benefiting everyone involved.
Regulatory Compliance, Sorted
No need to worry about local telecom regulations or compliance headaches. At Dabba, we ensure that every hotspot is deployed in full compliance with local laws, making your business worry-free.
One Dashboard for Total Control
With Dabba’s managed deployment model, you gain access to a personalized Dabba Network Explorer Dashboard. This intuitive platform lets you:
- Track your hotspot ownership
- Monitor rewards and earnings

Why Managed Deployment Benefits Everyone
Dabba’s Managed Deployment Model makes your telecom business truly passive while driving benefits across the entire ecosystem:
- A larger LCO network: Partnering with active LCOs allows us to create a massive service portfolio, enhancing the Dabba Network value. The bigger the network the better it is for all stakeholders.
- Faster market penetration: Existing LCO infrastructure and customer bases enable quicker scaling and localized operations. With managed deployment we can expand faster.
- Zero Idle Hotspot: The managed deployment allows us to onboard paying customers for every hotspot purchased. This means zero idle hotspot and paying customers.
Dabba’s managed deployment model removes the biggest friction point in DePIN adoption—making it radically easier, faster, and more rewarding to participate. Lowering the barrier to entry—we’re poised to bring the next billion users into decentralized infrastructure and web3.
