TelecommunicationsPulse
2.6 billion people are offline. Most of them already have a signal.
The barrier is no longer coverage. It is affordability, devices, and inclusion. Pulse helps operators prove who they actually bring online, and at what cost to the planet. Powered by Telos.
We prove who actually gets online. We do not count towers.
Why Now
The towers went up. The people stayed offline.
What coverage solved
90%+
More than 90 percent of the world's unconnected already live within range of a mobile signal.

What it did not
2.6B
2.6 billion people remain offline, a third of humanity, cut off from education, banking, and work.

$3.5T
Closing the usage gap would add an estimated 3.5 trillion dollars to global GDP by 2030.

2x by 2030
Data-center electricity demand more than doubles by 2030, driven by AI, growing four times faster than overall demand. Connecting more must not mean emitting more.

Introducing Pulse
One platform. Every connection counted, and accounted for.
Powered by iQuantile infrastructure, Pulse measures what telecom has never been able to prove, who truly got online, whether it was meaningful, whether they are safe, and what the network cost the planet.
What Pulse Does
Two questions. Every metric verified.
Reach, made measurable
Proof of who actually gets online.
Meaningful Connectivity
Pulse measures whether a connection is fast and affordable enough to actually use, not whether a tower exists.
Inclusion
Pulse verifies who is reached, the rural, the women, the priced-out, as numbers an operator can show.
Affordability
Pulse tracks the real cost of access against local income, so reach is measured by who can pay, not who is covered.
Responsibility, made auditable
Proof the network does no harm as it grows.
Network Energy
Pulse measures the energy and emissions behind the network as data-center demand surges, turning footprint into an auditable figure.
Data Dignity
Pulse verifies that the newly connected are brought online safely, their data treated as their own, consent and protection provable.
Meet Juno
Ask Juno what your network actually delivers.
What is our real reach, not our coverage? Where is the next million users, and what can they afford? What does our growth cost the planet?
Coverage reaches 92 percent of the population. Meaningful, affordable connectivity reaches 61 percent. The gap is the opportunity.
Population reach, percent
| Coverage | Meaningful connectivity | Actually online |
|---|---|---|
| 0% | 25% | 50% |
The Sustainability Dividend
The next billion users are the next billion customers.
On Pulse, connecting the people the market left behind, safely and with dignity, is the largest growth opportunity in the industry's history.
Impact
People reaching education, banking, and work for the first time, brought online safely, their data treated as their own.
Capital
Development finance and impact capital fund verified reach into underserved markets.
Market
Every newly connected person is a new subscriber, and the usage gap is a 3.5 trillion dollar market. Reach the unconnected with dignity, and you reach your next market in the same act.
What Becomes Possible
What changes when reach is real.
For people
First-time access: A farmer, a student, a clinic reaches the network and everything that runs on it.
For the planet
Accountable growth: Verified energy data keeps network expansion from quietly raising emissions.
For growth
New subscribers: Closing the usage gap turns the unconnected into the subscriber base of the next decade.
For trust
Safe by default: Provable data protection makes the newly connected customers who stay.
Frameworks We Adhere To
ITU Standards, GSMA Principles, UN SDG 9, GHG Protocol, ISO 27001, Broadband Commission Targets
Additional frameworks are configured during the assessment based on your markets and regulators.
Global Alignment
Closing the divide advances global goals.
9 Industry & Infrastructure
Verified, meaningful connectivity extends the digital infrastructure a modern economy runs on.
10 Reduced Inequalities
Measuring who actually gets online turns the digital divide from an abstraction into a gap that can be closed.
4 Quality Education
First-time access reaches the education, information, and opportunity that only connectivity opens.
13 Climate Action
Network and data-center energy is measured and accountable as connectivity scales.
Global Impact Commons
When one operator proves its energy and access performance, the sector sees where coverage actually reaches. Verified telecom data enters the Commons, governed by telecom members, so the record of who is connected, and who is not, becomes a shared map instead of a marketing claim.
The Blueprint Is the First Step
Reach is not coverage. It is who gets online, and how.
The Blueprint maps the real connectivity gap in your markets and plans how Pulse proves you are closing it responsibly, scoped to your network and delivered in four to six weeks.
