Helium🎈

World’s largest decentralized wireless network, built and owned by the people 🎈Powered by HNT — the currency of connectivity.

[Helium🎈 @helium]

A new era of connectivity starts today.

Introducing HeliumOS, the full-stack operating system for the business of connectivity.

For decades, telecom's playbook was simple: build more. That playbook is breaking. The winners now are whoever can intelligently use the best available network, not just the biggest one.

HeliumOS is the platform built for this moment.

Real-time Wi-Fi control for venues.
Agentic analytics through HeliumAI for operators.
Automatic Wi-Fi for consumer apps.
Full carrier enablement for carriers and MVNOs.

Quality connectivity that just works, driving the retention and revenue that come with it.

HeliumOS integrates natively with the Helium Network, the world's largest decentralized wireless network, built by communities incentivized by solana:hntyVP6YFm1Hg25TN9WGLqM12b8TQmcknKrdu1oxWux. That Network already serves millions of mobile users each day in places traditional telecom can't reach.

Telecom is a closed stack and it doesn't scale. No single carrier can build the open version alone.

Helium is delivering the shared model today. Carriers are getting visibility they can't get on their own.

Ask yourself who builds the infrastructure layer for that. 👇

Stadiums are where phone signals go to die. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of phones, in one bowl, for four hours. Macro cell towers can’t even keep up.

Bryant-Denny stadium at University of Alabama is the newest Tier 1 venue to route carrier traffic over the Helium Network instead. And more big venues are figuring this out one Saturday at a time.

Starlink just teased a community program where people host infrastructure and earn from use.

We've been running that model since 2019.

What six years taught us: the radio is the easy part. What makes a people-built network actually work is everything that comes after it. Automatic authentication. Verified quality. The carrier tools that let Hotspot deployers earn from traffic that's already moving through their neighborhoods.

Helium built the largest people-built wireless network. Then we built the software layer that makes networks like it more usable and more valuable to carriers, devices, and the people who host them.

More siloed networks isn't the answer. The answer is interoperability. Any device finding the best access point for the job, automatically, without friction.

The model is proven. The infrastructure is live. Now we're bringing the tools to the rest of the industry.

Managing a carrier-grade Wi-Fi network is complex. HeliumOS was built to make it simpler.

At the Wi-Fi NOW webinar, our team walked through how HeliumOS gives operators real visibility into their networks, from device-level diagnostics to venue performance data, without the overhead that usually comes with it.

Dean Bubley of Disruptive Analysis put it plainly: people-built Wi-Fi infrastructure is becoming a serious part of how carriers close coverage gaps. HeliumOS is what makes that infrastructure manageable at scale.

If you work in carrier offload, venue connectivity, or network operations, this one is worth your time.

Carriers spend billions building outdoor networks. But 80% of mobile data is consumed indoors.

That gap is not a technical failure. It is a structural one. Walls, floors, and RF physics mean macro towers will never fully solve indoor coverage. This is not a new problem. It is just one the industry has been slow to confront.

Wi-Fi offload changes the math. When a phone moves onto a trusted Wi-Fi network, it frees up licensed spectrum and reduces load on the macro layer. For carriers, that is real capacity relief without new infrastructure spending.

The harder question is scale. Building out indoor coverage from scratch is expensive. But millions of Wi-Fi access points already exist in homes, offices, and venues. Brownfield deployments, working with what is already there, are where the real opportunity lives.

Helium is built for exactly that. The Helium Network turns existing Wi-Fi infrastructure into carrier-grade coverage. People who already have Hotspots deployed can extend their value. No new builds required.

Wi-Fi offload quietly handles more mobile data than most people realize. WoX (Wi-Fi Offload Experience) is the framework carriers use to move that traffic seamlessly from cellular to Wi-Fi. The Helium Network puts people-built infrastructure at the center of that equation.

Full bars, no service. The most common connectivity complaint in large venues has one cause: DAS plant specified in 2011 that passes only a fraction of the spectrum today's phones use.

Typical venue DAS: 81% of the spectrum phones are built for. Never upgraded: 18%.

Carriers are built around infrastructure spending. Helium flips that. Usage-based connectivity means they pay for what they actually use. That's a structural shift worth paying attention to.

[Helium🎈 @helium]

A health system with 23 hospitals, plus pediatric centers, physician offices, and outpatient clinics, turned its existing Wi-Fi into Helium coverage this month. 🏥

Why it matters 👇

[Helium🎈 @helium]

So who wins?

🏥 The health system: better coverage from Wi-Fi it already runs, plus new revenue

👩‍⚕️ Patients, families, and staff: signal where they need it most

📶 Carriers: indoor coverage without spending millions on a DAS + happier customers
