Starlink + Helium🎈 = uninterrupted cell connectivity in disaster zones. Already used IRL today with 13K+ connections and 150Gb of life saving data across several locations hellohelium.com/hotspot/beacon

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-…

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…

Mario Di Dio 🎈 Helium🎈 Brownfield takeover!

If you sign up for Helium🎈 zero plan in the next 32 minutes I will send you very valuable porntoy tokens for free!

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🎈 builders always ask for best locations to deploy hotspots. Helium World expansion zones gives you the answer.

Helium🎈 DAU dropped suddenly on March 1st because of a bug in the proxy server authenticating traffic from carriers; the team is currently working to resolve

Seems people like free phone plans a lot more during bear market days

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.
