FreedomFi and Helium have partnered up to help mobile network operators (MNOs) accelerate their 5G coverage. FreedomFi Gateways, a consumer-deployed connectivity device that pairs with 5G antennas, have been designed to interoperate with the Helium Network, which is a decentralized open wireless network. According to the companies, this enables gateway hosts, equipped with blockchain technology, to mine HNT, the native cryptocurrency of the Helium Network, by providing 5G cellular coverage.
