Helium Mobile: Launching licensing program for hotspot devices

Odaily News Helium Mobile has announced that it is launching a licensing program for its hotspot devices. Helium Mobile's hotspots allow individuals or businesses to set up "mini cell towers" that transmit cell phone signals and pay tokens in exchange. According to the Helium website, there are currently several third-party manufacturers and suppliers providing services for the Helium Internet of Things (IoT) network, but Helium Mobile is currently the only supplier of cell phone coverage devices. Through the licensing program, Helium Mobile hopes to earn licensing fees from hotspots manufactured elsewhere while growing its cellular network. (blockworks)
