From enterprise scale to small business and municipal, the Helium Network is generating its largest social impact to date. Demand for coverage is greater than ever, and now is the time to double down on our impact and expand our coverage footprint.

Helium is on the precipice of mass adoption that has incredibly positive implications for everyone with a mobile phone. We're thrilled to announce our largest grant initiative to support builders and bring down the cost of connectivity.
