Telemetry operator guide
Current section: Overview
Why it matters
Real-device telemetry is different.
Unetwork telemetry is built around real devices, not synthetic test environments. That means the data can show how services behave on actual phones, networks, and local connections.
This real-world signal helps customers see what is happening closer to the user experience, instead of relying only on lab tests or simulated data.
Telemetry can reflect
- Real phones and devices
- Local networks
- Carrier and Wi-Fi conditions
- Service quality from the user side
The better the device data, the more useful the telemetry network becomes for customers and developers.
Visual guide
Telemetry turns real device activity into useful network insight.
These examples show the simple loop for ULOs: keep a real device online, let the app collect eligible measurements, and earn rewards when the data is useful.
Real device data
Your phone helps collect useful network data while it stays online.
Real network conditions
Measurements are more useful when they come from everyday carrier and Wi-Fi conditions.
More ways to earn
Telemetry gives ULOs another way to earn rewards from an active connected device.
Customer insights
Different companies may need different network insights from real locations.
Advanced platform
Unetwork is building a broader telemetry platform around real-device signals.
Operator requirements
Keep a real device connected and online.
Once your license is active, the main job is simple: keep the Unetwork App installed, signed in, and available on a real connected device.
Unetwork app
Use the latest Unetwork app on Android or iOS. Versions earlier than 1.2.2 are unsupported. The branded iOS app includes Extended Telemetry; use version 1.2.3 or later on iOS.
Active Unetwork App license
Telemetry work is available to operators with an active license connected to the Unetwork App.
Task participation enabled
Opt in from the app so eligible telemetry work can be assigned when demand is available.
Real device online
Use a genuine phone or device that can stay powered on, signed in, and connected.
How it works
The app can collect eligible measurements when demand is available.
You do not need to manually run complicated tests. Keep your device ready so the app can participate when telemetry work matches your setup.
- 1
Keep the app installed and signed in
Telemetry depends on the Unetwork App being available on your real device.
- 2
Stay connected
When telemetry demand matches your setup, the app can collect eligible service measurements.
- 3
Let real conditions matter
The value comes from ordinary network conditions: your device, your connection, and your location.
- 4
Rewards follow valid activity
Reward potential depends on eligible demand, uptime, connection quality, and data usefulness.
Good setup
Keep the device useful for real-world measurements.
- Keep your device powered on and connected.
- Keep the Unetwork App installed, signed in, and updated.
- Use a real device in a real location.
- Allow the app to stay online in the background where possible.
- Use a stable connection that reflects normal local network quality.
What to avoid
Telemetry loses value when the environment is fake, repeated, or hidden behind tools that change the real signal.
- Do not use emulators, synthetic devices, or simulated environments.
- Do not use VPNs to make the device appear somewhere else.
- Do not add too many devices to the same internet connection.
- Do not create redundant data that makes measurements less useful.
Rewards
Reward potential depends on useful telemetry demand.
ULOs and UNOs can see generated UP daily at 00:00 UTC. Extended Telemetry UP stays locked during the week and becomes available for withdrawal every Tuesday at 00:00 UTC. This weekly unlock applies only to Extended Telemetry.
Rewards per IP address are capped at the equivalent of five qualifying devices and shared by uptime. Ten devices on one IP share the same maximum allocation as five; adding devices does not increase that allocation.

What can affect rewards
- Customer demand in your country or network
- Device uptime
- Connection quality
- Uniqueness of your network environment
- Amount of eligible telemetry work available
Frequently asked questions
Fast answers for telemetry operators.
What does telemetry measure?
Telemetry measures eligible service data to and from your device so customers can understand network quality from real devices in real conditions.
Do I need a real device?
Yes. The task is valuable because it uses genuine devices and local connections, not simulated environments.
Can I use a VPN or emulator?
No. VPNs, emulators, synthetic devices, and simulated environments reduce data quality and should not be used.
Why should I avoid too many devices on one connection?
Rewards per IP address are capped at the equivalent of five qualifying devices and shared by uptime. Ten devices on one IP share the same maximum allocation as five; adding devices does not increase that allocation.
When can I withdraw Extended Telemetry UP?
ULOs and UNOs can see generated UP daily at 00:00 UTC. Extended Telemetry UP stays locked during the week and becomes available for withdrawal every Tuesday at 00:00 UTC. This weekly unlock applies only to Extended Telemetry.
Ready to participate
Keep a real device online and ready for telemetry demand.
Use an active Unetwork license, opt in to task participation, and keep your device connected so it can contribute valid real-world measurements.
