Ah, the grand tapestry of decentralized telecommunication networks, a veritable feast for the financially astute! Frank Mong, the illustrious chief operating officer (COO) of Nova Labs, the architects behind the Helium wireless decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) network, proclaims that both small businesses and telecom titans can reap the golden harvest of this digital revolution.
In a tête-à-tête with CryptoMoon at the illustrious Consensus 2025 in the bustling metropolis of Toronto, Canada, Mong waxed poetic about how local establishments—those charming bars, quaint restaurants, and the ever-necessary convenience stores—can transform into revenue-generating hotspots by merely hosting wireless connections. Who knew that a Wi-Fi router could be a cash cow? 🐄💸
But wait, there’s more! The behemoths of telecommunication, those corporate giants, can also dip their toes into the Helium Network’s telemetry pool, slashing operational costs and expanding their reach into the dreaded dead zones. Because who doesn’t love a good dead zone? It’s like a black hole for connectivity! 🌌
“It costs about $300,000 for a telecom company to erect a single tower; you need one per block for 5G to work effectively,” Mong lamented to CryptoMoon, adding with a hint of sarcasm:
“Instead of doing that and making phone plans more expensive, what if anyone with a useful Wi-Fi network shares that Wi-Fi and allows, not just anyone to use it securely, but allows large companies like AT&T to see the telemetry of that network?”
Decentralized physical infrastructure networks are the shining examples of how blockchain technologies can sprinkle real-world value like confetti, making existing infrastructure more resilient to outages, disruptions, censorship, and the occasional existential crisis. 🎉
Helium’s Grand Partnerships: A Match Made in Telecom Heaven
In the frosty month of January 2024, Nova Labs announced a collaborative partnership with the Latin American telecom giant Telefónica, aiming to expand coverage in those pesky dead zones and alleviate network congestion. Because who doesn’t love a good partnership? It’s like a marriage, but with fewer arguments over the remote control.
Fast forward to April 2025, and Helium has struck a deal with AT&T—a global telecom behemoth—allowing AT&T users automatic access to the Helium Network when they wander into the magical realm of mobile hotspots. Talk about a fairy tale ending! 🏰✨
Data from the Helium Network reveals that the United States boasts the highest concentration of the network’s 95,272 mobile hotspots. Additionally, Helium has a staggering 284,053 active Internet of Things (IoT) hotspots worldwide. It’s a hotspot extravaganza! 🎊
“Ultimately, what we did in the United States and Mexico should be global,” Mong declared to CryptoMoon, as if he were the benevolent ruler of a telecom empire.
Nova Labs is currently on a quest to expand coverage through securing collaborative partnerships with telecommunication infrastructure providers in new regions, the executive added, as if they were on a noble crusade for connectivity.
