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.

Full bars at the game, but nothing loads. Part 3 of the Full Bars series looks at a smarter fix: keep phone calls, including 911, on the venue’s cell system, and move data onto the Wi-Fi the venue already has. Each network does what it does best.

Full bars doesn't mean your phone works. Bars measure how loud the signal is, not how many people are sharing it. In a packed arena, everyone has five bars and nothing loads. The fix isn't a louder signal, it's more room, and the Wi-Fi already inside the building has plenty of it.

Venue of the day: Bob's Discount Furniture, a furniture store in Burbank, IL. Yesterday it ranked #43 on the network by data, moving 151.1 GB for 357 daily active users.

Bob's opened its very first store in Newington, Connecticut back in 1991, and now 357 shoppers stayed connected on Helium at its Burbank store. Sofa so good, our signal is mattress-ively strong!

Building a phone network costs a fortune. Analysts expect SpaceX to spend at least $100 billion on towers, airwaves, and satellites, and the carriers it's chasing have already spent hundreds of billions over decades. Yet most phone use still happens indoors, where those signals struggle most. The Wi-Fi inside those buildings is already paid for, and Helium makes it carrier-grade. axios.com/2026/11/05/mus…
