FEATURE
What Is Carrier Offload?
Carrier offload enables mobile operators to automatically route subscriber traffic to Helium-powered coverage when available. Leveraging Passpoint / Hotspot 2.0 technology, devices authenticate securely and seamlessly, improving service quality without any manual action from users.
As deployments begin in major cities and grow into rural and underserved areas, the collaboration will exemplify why decentralized networks can scale faster and more inclusively.
The collaboration shows how people-powered networks can enter and scale in new regions faster and at a fraction of the cost of the traditional telco model.
Mambo WiFi CEO Katie Angelo Pierozzi emphasised the significance of this shift.“ Through this collaboration, Mambo and Helium are bringing cutting-edge wireless technology to Brazil’ s telco market. Our 40,000 access points will serve as a foundation for the Helium Network, enabling local carriers to adopt this people-powered model to close Brazil’ s longstanding connectivity gap.”
