Odaily Planet Daily News Helium Mobile 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" to 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 mobile signal coverage equipment. Through the licensing program, Helium Mobile hopes to earn licensing fees from hotspots manufactured elsewhere while developing its cellular network. (blockworks)
