Task type
Passive telemetry
Your licensed device can contribute eligible service measurements while it stays online.
Updated June 14, 2026 - Operator task guide
Telemetry Task
Telemetry measures service data to and from your device so customers can understand network quality from real devices in real conditions.
Key point: telemetry is valuable because it comes from real devices on real local connections, not simulated environments.
Current range
0.05-0.55 UP
Reference range per day, depending on demand and eligible telemetry work.
Participation
Opt-in
Enable task participation in the Unetwork app and keep the device signed in.
Device rule
Real device
Use a real phone or device on a real local connection, not a simulated setup.
What telemetry is
Real-device network activity becomes useful data.
Telemetry collects eligible service measurements from active Unetwork devices. It helps customers understand how networks behave on real phones, real local connections, and real carrier paths.
This is different from lab-only or simulated testing. Real-device telemetry can show what is happening closer to the actual user experience.
Coverage analysis
Customers use telemetry to understand network behavior from live devices instead of modeled assumptions.
Route verification
Customers use telemetry to understand network behavior from live devices instead of modeled assumptions.
Service quality monitoring
Customers use telemetry to understand network behavior from live devices instead of modeled assumptions.
How it works
Keep the device connected. The app handles eligible measurements.
- 01
Activate a Unetwork license
Telemetry rewards are tied to a valid license running on a real device.
- 02
Enable task participation
Keep opt-in task participation enabled in the Unetwork app where it is available.
- 03
Keep the device online
Leave the app installed, signed in, updated, and able to stay connected in the background.
- 04
Let eligible telemetry run
When demand is available for your setup, the app can collect eligible service measurements automatically.
Requirements and rules
Use a real device on a real connection.
Telemetry quality depends on the device and connection being real, available, and useful. The goal is data customers can trust, not repeated or simulated network conditions.
Active Unetwork license
A valid license links eligible telemetry rewards to your operator account.
Opt-in participation
Telemetry should be enabled from the app task area when the option is available.
Connected real device
Keep a genuine device powered on, online, and able to maintain app connectivity.
Real network conditions
Customer value comes from real locations, carriers, Wi-Fi, mobile data, and local network behavior.
Useful connection profile
Unique real-world connections are more valuable than many devices repeating the same network conditions.
Do this
- Use real devices, not emulators or simulated device environments.
- Keep the Unetwork app installed, signed in, updated, and able to run normally.
Avoid this
- Do not use VPNs to change or hide the real network location.
- Avoid putting too many devices on the same internet connection.
Rewards
Telemetry rewards vary with real demand.
The current reference range is 0.05 to 0.55 UP per day. Actual rewards depend on demand, uptime, connection quality, eligible telemetry work, and how unique or useful your connection is.
What can affect rewards
- Customer demand
- Device uptime
- Network quality
- Connection uniqueness
- Eligible telemetry work
- Region and carrier coverage needs
Platform update
Unetwork is building a real-device telemetry platform.
The platform is being built to make real-device network data easier for customers and developers to use. As the product matures and demand grows, operator opportunities may improve over time.
- Real-device network data across more than 150 countries, 1,500 cities, and 50,000 devices.
- More than 15 telemetry endpoints expected in the alpha phase.
- AI-assisted tools to help customers and developers select the data they need.
- More customer demand may create more telemetry opportunities over time.
Frequently asked questions
Fast answers for telemetry operators.
What is a telemetry task?
A telemetry task measures eligible service data to and from your device so customers can understand network quality from real devices in real conditions.
Why are real devices important?
Real devices show what services experience on actual phones, networks, and local connections. This can be more useful than lab-only or simulated data.
How much can telemetry earn right now?
The current reference range is 0.05 to 0.55 UP per day. Actual rewards depend on demand, uptime, connection quality, eligible telemetry work, and uniqueness.
What makes telemetry data more valuable?
Useful telemetry usually comes from real, available devices on genuine connections that help customers see network quality in a specific place, carrier, or setup.
Can I use a VPN or emulator?
No. VPNs, emulators, synthetic devices, and simulated environments reduce data quality and should not be used for telemetry.
Why avoid too many devices on one connection?
Telemetry becomes less useful when many devices report the same network conditions. Unique real-world connections are more valuable.
Ready to contribute real data
Claim a license, run a real device, and keep the app connected.
Install Unetwork, sign in, enable task participation where available, and use a setup that produces useful real-world network data.
