Helium Mobile Launches Helium Mobile Hotspot to Power Community-Built Connectivity

Today, Nova Labs announced the launch of its indoor Helium Mobile Hotspot for availability in the greater Miami-Dade area. The new offering simplifies the expansion of the wireless infrastructure while providing a more accessible price point, inviting existing and new community members to quickly dive in and contribute to building the open-source Helium Mobile Network.

For years, building mobile networks has been complex and expensive, and controlled by the few who can afford securing locations and installing professional-grade equipment. However, with today’s launch of the Helium Mobile Hotspot, individuals and businesses can easily help build the Helium Mobile Network with a single device, giving people more control and enabling them to deliver coverage at a huge discount compared to other providers. Helium Mobile uses the people-built Helium Mobile Network to offer aggressively priced phone plans by passing cost savings directly to users.

This indoor version is ideal for deploying mobile coverage in high-foot-traffic areas, such as stores, cafés, offices, and other commercial areas. This cutting-edge technology comes at $249, a fraction of the cost and complexity of traditional cellular equipment. Once deployed, Helium Mobile subscribers use the Helium Mobile Hotspot from their mobile phones automatically.

Starting today, anyone in the Miami-Dade area can purchase a Helium Mobile Hotspot here and contribute to building the future of mobile.

“These incredibly advanced mobile hotspots are like miniature cell towers that can enable anyone to participate in building a people-built wireless network where coverage is needed,” said Amir Haleem, CEO and co-founder of Nova Labs.“Together, communities can build a new type of network and finally provide a sustained, affordable alternative to mobile connectivity.”

Key features include:

• Simplified Deployment: Easily set up the Helium Mobile Hotspot with a user-friendly app, requiring no professional installers. Plug it in, and anyone can provide Helium Mobile coverage for high-foot-traffic indoor locations, from retail stores to offices.
• Affordable Connectivity: Enjoy mobile coverage at a fraction of the cost of traditional cellular equipment. The Helium Mobile Hotspot combines affordability with simplicity, making it accessible for individuals and businesses.
• Earn While You Connect: Hotspot owners can earn MOBILE tokens whenever Helium Mobile subscribers connect through their devices, turning connectivity into a rewarding experience.
• Optimized Network Expansion: The Helium Mobile Hotspot extends mobile wireless coverage for the Helium Mobile Network. Discover recommended deployment locations that have the highest anticipated network traffic.

Each indoor hotspot helps build the network to provide affordable connectivity to Helium Mobile subscribers. Builders who help expand the Helium Mobile Network can earn MOBILE for providing coverage.

“I’ve been part of the Helium community for over 3 years and helped build the Helium Mobile Network by deploying mobile coverage at my shops in Miami. It’s about providing the extra value to my customers, as well as being part of a larger revolution in connectivity,” said Derek Kaplan, Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop owner. “Now, the new Helium Mobile Hotspots are smaller, cheaper, and let subscribers connect to the Helium Mobile Network whenever they need, without passwords or sign-in portals, all while I can earn rewards for providing coverage in the background. It’s a true win-win.”

In August, Helium Mobile redefined the telecommunications industry with a no-contract $5/month plan that includes unlimited talk, text, and data*. Helium Mobile’s Dynamic Coverage enables subscribers to access both the local people-built Helium Mobile Network and the nation’s largest 5G network. By leveraging a community-powered network, this industry-first milestone significantly reduces costs to deliver reliable nationwide service with unprecedented pricing.

The Helium community has rapidly expanded the open-source mobile network, with deployments in over 1,500 cities across the U.S.
