MNTD.

MNTD. is a new brand created by RAKwireless (RAK) solely focused on making crypto-hardware accessible to everyday people. RAK is the same company that made the OG hotspots for Helium and has since manufactured the largest number of hotspots deployed to date. RAK hotspot have traditionally been sold through distributors. Often, distributors sell primarily to businesses and don’t focus just on crypto-hardware. While they surely sell to anyone who buys, we felt that miners for #ThePeoplesNetwork should have a people-first approach. We created MNTD. to offer a more consumer-friendly approach, great customer support and of course, no pre-orders and no broken promises. RAK will still use distributors for business customers, but MNTD. will focus on the “People” in #ThePeoplesNetwork.
