氦网络与AT＆T合作伙伴以扩大移动覆盖范围

由区块链技术提供动力的分散无线网络Helium与AT＆T合作以扩大其移动覆盖范围。

Helium, the decentralized wireless network powered by blockchain technology, has partnered with AT&T to expand mobile coverage and provide stronger connectivity in urban, rural, and underserved areas.

由区块链技术提供动力的去中心的无线网络Helium与AT＆T合作，以扩大移动覆盖范围，并在城市，农村和服务不足的地区提供更牢固的连通性。

The integration, which is based on a commercial arrangement with its parent company Nova Labs, allows AT&T subscribers to automatically connect to Helium’s network of community-operated wireless hotspots when available nearby.

该集成基于与母公司Nova Labs的商业安排，允许AT＆T订户在附近可用时自动连接到氦气网络的社区操作无线热点网络。

These hotspots act as miniature cell towers and are an alternative means of delivering wireless access. With more than 93,000 active hotspots globally, Helium’s infrastructure is designed to complement existing cellular networks by offering additional connectivity through decentralized infrastructure.

这些热点充当微型电池塔，是提供无线访问的另一种方法。氦的基础架构在全球范围内拥有超过93,000个活动热点，旨在通过通过分散的基础架构提供额外的连通性来补充现有的蜂窝网络。

The agreement also offers more Wi-Fi access points to AT&T’s 118 million mobile subscribers and allows the telecom company to tap into the network’s metrics for coverage quality.

该协议还为AT＆T的1.18亿移动订户提供了更多的Wi-Fi访问点，并允许电信公司利用网络的指标以获得覆盖质量。

“This partnership is part of AT&T’s broader efforts to provide better connectivity options for our customers on the move,” said Timothy Tweedle, Principal Interconnection Agreements Manager, AT&T Mobility.

“这种合作伙伴关系是AT＆T更广泛的努力，为我们的客户提供更好的连接选择，” AT＆T Mobility的主要互连协议经理Timothy Tweedle说。

Helium Hotspot Owners to Earn Rewards

氦热点所有者赚取奖励

Helium, which operates on the Solana blockchain, rewards individuals and businesses for deploying wireless hotspots that act as “mini cell towers.”

在Solana区块链上运行的氦气，奖励个人和企业部署充当“迷你蜂窝塔”的无线热点。

These nodes support local wireless connectivity and process data traffic from nearby devices. Based on the amount of data the network processes, this system rewards operators with its native token, HNT. The usage of the network reward, its native token, HEAT, to the operators will be proportional to the volume of data their systems process.

这些节点支持来自附近设备的本地无线连接和处理数据流量。基于网络流程的数据量，该系统奖励运算符具有其天然令牌HNT。网络奖励的使用（其本地令牌，热量）向操作员使用将与其系统过程的数据量成正比。

AT&T does not directly compensate hotspot owners. Instead, operators continue earning through the network’s decentralized incentive model.

AT＆T不会直接补偿热点所有者。取而代之的是，运营商继续通过网络的分散激励模型来赚钱。

The move expands the network’s reach while keeping the core model of decentralization with token-based participation. Although early adopters have previously criticized the reward distribution, the network now attracts extensive partnerships, which could enable it to remain one of the most prominent examples of real-world blockchain utility.

此举扩大了网络的影响范围，同时通过基于代币的参与将权力下放的核心模型保持。尽管早期采用者以前曾批评奖励分配，但该网络现在吸引了广泛的合作伙伴关系，这可以使其成为现实世界区块链实用程序中最突出的例子之一。

Regulatory Clarity Strengthens Helium’s Position

监管清晰度增强了氦的位置

This partnership follows a favorable regulatory outcome for the network. Notably, the US Securities and Exchange Commission dismissed its case against Nova Labs earlier this month.

该伙伴关系遵循网络的有利监管结果。值得注意的是，美国证券交易委员会于本月初驳回了针对Nova Labs的案件。

The agency stated that its HNT, MOBILE, and IoT tokens do not fall under the category of securities, thus resolving previous project-related legal doubts.

该机构表示，其HNT，移动和物联网令牌不属于证券类别，从而解决了先前与项目有关的法律疑问。

Founded in 2013, the network has raised over $300 million from firms including Andreessen Horowitz and Tiger Global. It previously partnered with Telefónica to expand coverage in Mexico and offers its own service, Helium Mobile, in the U.S., supported in part by T-Mobile’s 5G network.

该网络成立于2013年，已从安德烈·霍洛维茨（Andreessen Horowitz）和老虎全球（Tiger Global）等公司筹集了超过3亿美元。它以前与Telefónica合作，扩大了墨西哥的报道，并提供自己的服务，即美国的氦气移动，部分由T-Mobile的5G网络支持。

The AT&T deal marks another step in the network’s goal to reshape mobile connectivity through decentralized infrastructure.

AT＆T交易标志着该网络通过分散基础架构重塑移动连接的目标的又一步。
