Helium Plus Launches to Enable Businesses to Join Network Using Wi-Fi

Helium is launching Helium Plus, a service designed to enhance business participation in the Helium Network.

  • Helium Plus allows public Wi-Fi providers to join the network using existing routers, eliminating the need for new hardware.
  • Businesses can earn HNT tokens by supporting wireless connectivity through this community-driven infrastructure.
  • Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) reward users with crypto for deploying and maintaining real-world infrastructure.
  • Previously, joining the Helium ecosystem required deploying physical Hotspots, which involved costs and technical setup.
  • Helium Plus simplifies integration, making any Wi-Fi location a Helium access point and reducing the cost burden on users.

Mario Di Dio, Network General Manager at Helium, highlighted that this initiative reduces infrastructure costs and opens new revenue streams while improving connectivity.
