Helium Partners with AT&T to Expand US WiFi Coverage

Helium, a decentralized network provider, has established a partnership with telecommunications giant AT&T to integrate its community-built WiFi network into AT&T's service via Passpoint roaming. This integration enables AT&T customers to automatically connect to Helium’s widespread network of over 93,500 hotspots, thereby accelerating network adoption. With over 800,000 daily users already leveraging its service in the United States, Helium continues to expand its reach, also solidifying deals in international markets like Mexico through agreements with Telefónica’s Movistar. This move builds on Helium Mobile’s recent introduction of a free phone plan and follows the company’s previous regulatory challenges, including the SEC lawsuit settlement with Nova Labs. Overall, the collaboration is expected to enhance real-world utility and drive further growth in Helium’s network.
