The next evolution in decentralized wireless is here. Today we’re excited to announce the official launch of Helium Plus, a transformative new service that empowers any business or public Wi-Fi provider to join and expand Helium coverage. This feature is set to accelerate the growth of reliable, community-driven wireless coverage across the U.S. and Mexico while creating monetization opportunities for participants.

A Breakthrough in Network Participation

Until now, contributing to the people-powered Helium Network involved setting up physical Hotspots. Helium Plus revolutionizes this process. Now, businesses can seamlessly integrate into the Helium Network with their existing infrastructure. From local cafes to large shopping malls, any venue can now begin providing coverage through a simple, self-served software upgrade to their current Wi-Fi routers. This pivotal update removes the need to purchase any additional hardware, dramatically lowering the barrier to entry.

The Helium Network is experiencing explosive growth, and Helium Plus is set to accelerate it. In June, the network paid out over $300K+ for carrier offload data, with rewards growing a staggering 20% month-over-month. Now, Helium Plus invites hundreds of thousands of new contributors to share in this success, earning HNT or USD simply by using their existing Wi-Fi.

“Helium Plus represents a major leap forward in how businesses can contribute to the Helium Network,” said Mario Di Dio, Network General Manager at Helium. “It offers instant, low-cost wireless integration, reducing infrastructure costs while creating new revenue streams and improving connectivity. The simplicity of our process is key to unlocking the full potential of this expansion.”

Powering a New Era of Connectivity

Beyond creating value for individual businesses, Helium Plus is designed to supercharge the entire Helium ecosystem. It directly fuels the Helium Network’s powerful carrier offload capability, which enables major U.S. carriers to route customer data through The People’s Network, enhancing their coverage and cutting operational costs.

The results already speak for themselves: since launching carrier offload, the Helium Network has soared past one million daily users, proving its remarkable scale.

Helium Plus represents the next major leap in building a stronger, more accessible network for everyone.
