Helium Mobile (HNT) Launches Solana Blockchain-Based Cellular Phone Package (SOL)

JAKARTA - The telecommunications industry received fresh gusts with the revolutionary move of the decentralized wireless network crypto project, Helium Mobile (HNT). By relying on layer-1 Solana (SOL) blockchain power, the project has launched a new mobile phone that has the potential to change the telecommunications landscape as we know it.

In an official announcement, Helium Mobile stated the launch of a phone package providing Miami residents with exclusive access in its early stages. This step is part of their strategy to develop a unique coverage model.

The model combines 5G networks of their national partners with a Helium Mobile Network cellular network built by the community and has open-source characteristics.

Helium Mobile explains that this package is offered at a more affordable price than conventional telecommunications packages. They refer to estimates from WhistleOut shopping comparison machines, which show that the average cost of phone packages in the United States reaches US$114 (Rp1.7 million) per month.

In lucrative offers, Helium Mobile phone packages are only sold for $5 (Rp76,500) per month (increased tax and cost). At these costs, customers get unlimited access to phone, SMS, and data services. Not only does it offer equivalent quality, this package also promises a discount of up to 95% compared to the current costs they spend.

The success of Helium Mobile in offering affordable prices is due to different economic models from most telecommunications companies. They rely on the participation of individuals who get MOBILE tokens in exchange for sharing data in the network. This approach avoids dependence on large companies and is able to reduce infrastructure costs that are often a burden to operators.

Not only that, Helium Mobile also formed a strategic partnership with one of the telecommunications giants, T-Mobile. This collaboration provides access to Helium Mobile customers to the largest 5G network in the United States, providing a smooth and fast communication experience.
