Intelligent Wireless Networks.
Powered by People.

Wireless is struggling to scale. Data is bottlenecked as cell towers become congested and indoor coverage is often unreliable.

Large mobile carriers use Helium to extend their coverage thanks to thousands of community-deployed Hotspots that help millions of people stay connected.

The opportunity

Telecom's AWS Moment.

Carriers spend more than $300B annually on infrastructure, yet coverage gaps remain. Helium turns fixed infrastructure spend into a pay-per-use coverage model.

The Old Model

Expensive Capital Expenditure

Centralized infrastructure

Hard-to-reach dense & indoor areas

Slow to scale

The Helium Model

Pay only for traffic use

Distributed people-powered coverage

Built for dense & indoor areas

Scalable without massive upfront cost

Daily Data Carried Has Grown Roughly Fivefold in a Year.

From about 24 TB a day to roughly 128 TB a day, as carriers moved real subscriber traffic onto the network. Not speculation, coverage carriers chose to route through.

Built by people

Wireless Coverage Built by People, Used by Carriers.

People deploy Hotspots where coverage is weak. Carriers pay to use the Network, while validated traffic permanently burns HNT. Today, Helium powers wireless infrastructure for some of the world's largest carriers.

Proven under load

Coverage that Holds Up Under Pressure.

Because deployers built the coverage ahead of time, the network absorbs huge, sudden demand at marquee events.

Big Game Weekend Powered by the People

At this year's Big Game near San Francisco, 113,000+ people connected through Helium on the peak day.

Fat Tuesday, Thin Signal? Not This Year

Helium’s New Orleans footprint absorbed a 550% Fat Tuesday surge, with more than 100,000 daily unique subscribers sustained for Carnival Weekend.

Powered by HNT.

HNT is a use-backed token. It must be burned for Network use and rewards deployers for providing useful wireless coverage.

Usage Burns Supply

Every gigabyte of verified carrier data routed across the Network permanently removes HNT from circulation. More real-world usage means more HNT burned.

Deployers Earn from Utility

Hotspot operators earn HNT for carrying real traffic, aligning coverage with the demand that uses it.
