Solana-Based Helium Strikes Deal to Serve AT&T Customers in the US
Helium, a Solana-based, community-led distributed network, will now serve AT&T customers in the U.S., providing additional Wi-Fi coverage wherever a Helium hotspot is available. Previously, the company partnered with carriers such as Telefónica in Mexico, rolling out hundreds of connection sites.
Helium Brings Increased Coverage to AT&T Users in the U.S.
Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) are starting to shine, providing their services to bigger companies. Helium, a decentralized, Solana-based community-led data network, has partnered with AT&T, one of the largest cell carriers in the U.S., to provide additional coverage to their customers.
The Helium Network is integrated by thousands of hotspots set up across the world that can be accessed by users employing Helium’s mobile services. With this deal, AT&T customers will be able to access these hotspots seamlessly, effectively merging centralized and decentralized solutions to improve end-user service.
Customers will pay HNT, the network’s Solana-based token, to the hotspots connected, completing a loop that allows providers to keep servicing users and update their equipment.
Amir Haleem, co-founder of Helium and CEO of Helium Mobile, their carrier, stated that working with AT&T is a milestone for the project and would help them bring affordable and accessible connectivity to the masses.
Furthermore, he declared:
AT&T is the latest of a series of carriers already using Helium’s network to complement their traditional cellular coverage. In February, the project started rolling out hotspots in 300 sites in partnership with Telefonica Mexico to reduce operating costs to serve over 2 million customers.
Over 62,000 hotspots, which can be user or company-operated, are already installed in the U.S. and Mexico, connecting over 300,000 subscribers from Helium Mobile and its partners.
More carriers are expected to include this kind of solution, as specialized press states that Helium’s newly implemented service allows them to control and monitor hotspot service quality. With this, carriers can choose when to offload data to each hotspot based on prior quality of service (QoS) statistics.
