Spark AirNodes are Wi-Fi devices that provide internet within a 150-metre radius-ideal for homes, families, and small businesses.
They’re designed to function as both private and public access points. That means one Spark AirNode can power a home or business while also sharing connectivity with the surrounding community.
Operators manage everything remotely using the World Mobile AirNode dashboard. Each Spark pays a flat monthly reward, making it one of the easiest ways to participate in the World Mobile network.
When Sparks are in stock, you can buy them directly through the Club Store:
How Sparks Works
- Offers data, voice, and WiFi services
- Supports both private use (home or business) and public access (for nearby users)
- Remote-managed via the AirNode dashboard
- Forms a mesh network by linking with nearby Sparks
- Flat Rewards: Earnings are fixed per device, regardless of usage or uptime
- Affordable Entry Point: Great for getting started with World Mobile
Currently, Spark AirNodes are live in Pakistan, especially around Lahore and Islamabad. In partnership with WorldCall, Spark units will support a pay-as-you-go WiFi model to make internet more accessible and affordable.
How much could this device earn over its lifetime?
Each Spark AirNode earns about $1.70 per month. Over a 14-year period, that adds up to approximately $286 in total rewards.
- Calculation: $1.70 × 12 months × 14 years = $285.60
How soon could this device pay for itself?
With a steady $1.70/month reward, it could pay itself off in about 3 years and 3 months.
What’s the estimated return?
Based on the expected earnings and cost, you could see a return of around 3.3× (or 330%) over the full 14-year lifetime.
What does the dashboard show?
The dashboard lists all the AirNodes you own, grouped by city or region.
Each Spark device has its own page showing:
- Location code based on a 3-word geolocation system
- Monthly earnings
- Data transferred
Hardware & Features
Spark runs on proven tech that internet providers use to deliver fast connections to homes and businesses. It’s built using a GPON ONT platform, the same kind used in fiber-to-the-home setups.
What can it do?
- Handle data only
- Handle data and voice (calls)
- Handle data, voice, and WiFi all together
The models Spark uses can deliver internet speeds up to 2.5Gbps for downloads and 1.25Gbps for uploads. They’re also easy to manage remotely thanks to standard protocols that work with World Mobile’s dashboard.
Key Hardware Features
- GPON WAN: This fiber connection lets the Spark receive very fast internet from the main network, up to 2.5Gbps for downloads and 1.2Gbps for uploads.
- Active Ethernet WAN: Another fast connection option, useful where fiber isn’t available. Speeds up to 1.25Gbps both ways.
- Ethernet Ports: You get 1 high-speed and 3 regular ports to plug in devices like computers or routers.
- WiFi: Built-in WiFi supports speeds up to 300Mbps, enough for most homes or small offices.
- Voice Port: Plug in a landline phone using the RJ11 port to make VoIP (internet-based) calls.
- USB Port: One USB port can be used in different ways depending on setup.
- Power: Runs on a 12V power supply.
- Temperature Range: Works in environments from -5°C to 50°C, so it’s good for most indoor and sheltered outdoor spots.

Impact in Pakistan
Pakistan is making strides toward greater connectivity. With the deployment of 2,000 AirNodes each month by World Mobile and WorldCall, the mission to connect 2 million people in two years is becoming a reality.
Aleesha, an IT freelancer in Lahore, struggled with unstable internet that disrupted her work. Since switching to AirNodes, her work is seamless, enabling her to collaborate with clients and meet deadlines without delays.
Umer, a student from Lahore, now has reliable internet access for the first time, opening up new opportunities to learn, build, and connect. It’s a real example of how decentralized infrastructure can change lives.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be technical to operate a Spark?
No, it’s fully managed through the dashboard. Just plug it in and monitor it online.
Does Spark work outside Pakistan?
Currently, Spark is live in Pakistan. More regions may come soon.
What’s the difference between Spark and Link AirNodes?
Both Spark and Link provide internet, but they’re designed for different needs:
- Spark is built for low-cost, high-reach community connectivity. It acts as a WiFi hotspot and can support many public users. It pays a fixed reward and doesn’t require a local Host.
- Link delivers high-speed, dedicated internet to a single household or business. It has a higher upfront cost but can earn more depending on the subscriber plan.
Quick comparison:
Feature Spark Link Price $65.99 $749 Users Many (public/private) One subscriber Rewards $1.70/month (fixed) $8–$95+/month (variable) ROI Timeline ~3 years ~3.5 years (on average) Deployment Pakistan USA
How is the ROI for Spark Nodes calculated?
The return on investment (ROI) is based on the Spark’s cost and its fixed monthly reward. At $65.99 per device and a flat $1.70/month income, your break-even point is about 37 months, or just over 3 years. This works out to roughly 42% APY.
What happens if a Spark Node gets damaged for remote owners?
All Spark AirNodes purchased from The Club Store include a 10-year limited hardware warranty. This covers internal hardware failures that prevent the device from powering on or functioning after basic troubleshooting has ruled out software or external issues.
Here’s how it works:
- Covered: Permanent internal hardware failures not caused by external damage or misuse.
- Not covered: Weather damage, theft, accidents, relocation, and ISP/power issues.
What happens when Spark nodes go offline?
When a Spark node goes offline, it stops contributing to the network.
If you’re a remote owner, you can report the issue through the dashboard. The support team will investigate.
Most common issues involve power or internet drops, so it’s a good idea to check (or ask someone local to check) for outages, unplugged cables, or signs of hardware trouble. Getting your Spark back online quickly ensures your rewards stay consistent.
If I own a Spark node, do I still need to pay monthly for internet?
Yes, you do. Spark nodes don’t come with their own internet connection. To function, each Spark needs to be connected to the internet, either through your own ISP or via a nearby upstream AirNode.
Think of the Spark like a mini access point: it distributes internet, but it doesn’t generate it. So if you’re hosting one, you’ll need to pay for the backhaul connection just like any other internet service. In return, you earn rewards for keeping it online and contributing to the network.
Technically, you can also be your own customer. For example, you might run a Spark at home, use the internet it provides, and earn back part of your costs through monthly rewards.
Will Spark or AirNodes be tradable as NFTs like EarthNodes?
Not yet but that’s the plan. While EarthNodes launched as NFTs from day one, Spark and other AirNodes aren’t tradable yet. However, World Mobile has shared that AirNodes will be tokenized in the future. This means they’ll become token-bound assets, allowing for secondary market trading.
