Carrier Wi-Fi is the new 5G. With HIP-139 Helium🎈 community voted to phase out CBRS by March 1st. This also means more rewards for Wi-Fi and free Wi-Fi hotspots for affected CBRS operators.

Is Helium🎈 coverage in Disneyland real of fake? Per HIP140, if these hotspots don't get 25 unique user connections during 7 days trailing, they will receive no boosted POC rewards. github.com/helium/HIP/blo…

Converged Wi-Fi/Cellular users see ~100Mbps faster downloads vs. cellular-only—despite most offload Wi-Fi being unoptimized, stuck in residential closets on 5GHz. Imagine the impact that an 'offload-optimized' fleet like Helium🎈 could eventually bring. rcrwireless.com/20250114/test-…

TLDR; “By incentivizing individuals and businesses to operate Hotspots, over 400,000 subscribers of U.S. telco carriers connect to the Helium🎈 Network daily to access the internet through Hotspots. With over 500 terabytes of data transfers into Helium, the Network has proven that

You can add Helium🎈 free plan as a second SIM, and your phone will automatically connect to Helium Wi-Fi hotspots—while still using your main carrier. No need to switch carriers.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. Carrier Wi-Fi moves to stage 3 in its competition with 5G. stadiumtechreport.com/feature/verizo…

To maximize hotspot data rewards, you need plenty of subscribers near each hotspot. Telefonica is activating 2.3M subs specifically in the green-marked areas. Deploy strategically.

Helium Mobile 🆓 ☁️ free tier earned enough in HNT mapping rewards last month to generate a 12% positive gross margin. With over 1,000 net new subs per day, it’s shaping up to be a customer acquisition strategy that actually pays.

Today carrier Wi-Fi relies on blind offload and hope, which has failed for 20 years. The shift to controlled offload using real-time UX metrics is key to finally make it work for carriers and subscribers.
