氦气将其社区构建的Wi-Fi网络扩展到AT＆T订户

根据公告公告

AT&T subscribers will now be able to automatically connect to DePIN project Helium’s community-built Wi-Fi network when they come into proximity of a hotspot through the latest integration from the telecom giant, the company announced Thursday.

该公司周四宣布，AT＆T订户现在将能够通过电信巨头的最新集成靠近热点时自动连接到Depin Project helium的社区构建的Wi-Fi网络。

As part of a new partnership, AT&T will integrate with the Solana-based, decentralized project to provide seamless connectivity for its subscribers in a move pitched as a cost-efficient alternative to traditional wireless infrastructure, according to a press release.

作为新合作伙伴关系的一部分，AT＆T将与基于Solana的分散项目集成，为其订户提供无缝的连通性，以作为传统无线基础设施的一种经济高效替代方案提供了无缝的连接。

Mario Di Dio, general manager of network at Helium, said in an interview with The Block that AT&T subscribers will automatically connect to the Helium network when they come into proximity of a hotspot through the company’s latest integration.

Helium网络总经理Mario Di dio在接受该区块的采访时说，AT＆T订户通过公司的最新集成靠近热点时，将自动连接到氦网络。

“This is a commercial agreement between AT&T and NOVA Labs, the company that develops and maintains the Helium Network,” a spokesperson for AT&T told The Block via email. “AT&T will not be paying the operators of the Hotspots. Instead, the operators will continue to be rewarded in the same way they are today through the network's usage-based reward system.”

AT＆T的发言人通过电子邮件告诉Block：“这是AT＆T和Nova Labs之间的商业协议。” “ AT＆T将不会向热点的运营商支付。相反，运营商将继续以通过网络的基于使用的基于使用的奖励系统来奖励他们今天的奖励。”

Helium has been viewed as one of the most promising real-world applications of blockchain, though the project has drawn criticism by some hotspot operators who were disappointed by their network payouts considering their investment in specialized hardware. The project’s reputation was also dinged after a report from The Verge claimed that Helium had overstated its relationship with Lime and Salesforce.

氦气被视为区块链最有前途的现实应用程序之一，尽管该项目引起了一些热点运营商的批评，他们因其对专业硬件的投资而对网络支出感到失望。在The Verge的一份报告称氦气夸大了其与Lime和Salesforce的关系之后，该项目的声誉也陷入了困境。

“Hotspot operators are rewarded for providing useful coverage and offloading data, further emphasizing the Helium Network’s decentralized, community-driven nature,” Di Dio said in a statement. “We believe the collaboration between AT&T and Helium highlights the real-world utility of crypto. The Helium Network has proven that crypto can be a powerful incentive in building out and deploying wireless infrastructure.”

Di Dio在一份声明中说：“热点运营商提供了有用的覆盖范围和卸载数据，进一步强调了氦网络的分散，以社区为导向的自然。” “我们认为，AT＆T和氦之间的合作突出了加密货币的现实实用性。氦网络已证明，加密货币可以是建立和部署无线基础架构的强大动力。”

Helium has formed similar relationships with Telefónica’s Movistar and other “mobile network operators” and “mobile virtual network operators,” according to the press release. Earlier this year, Helium Mobile, a service built on the Solana-based peer-to-peer Helium network, launched a nationwide plan in the U.S. providing users with unlimited data, text and talk.

根据新闻稿，氦与Telefónica的Movistar和其他“移动网络运营商”和“移动虚拟网络运营商”建立了类似的关系。今年早些时候，建立在基于Solana的点对点氦网络上的一项服务氦气移动设备在美国启动了一项全国性计划，为用户提供了无限的数据，文本和谈话。

The project, which was founded in 2013 to support internet of things devices, raised $111 million in a 2021 token sale led by Andreessen Horowitz and later an additional $200 million in a Series D round led by Tiger Global and the now-bankrupt FTX Ventures.

该项目成立于2013年，旨在支持物联网设备，在由Andreessen Horowitz领导的2021年代币销售中筹集了1.11亿美元，后来在由Tiger Global和现已破产的FTX Ventures领导的一轮D轮中增加了2亿美元。

The network’s token, HNT, currently trades at $3.62 at time of writing, according to The Block’s price page. At its peak in 2021, the token exchanged hands for more than $50, in part due to the hype around crypto at the time and former association with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. The project initially used a proprietary blockchain but later migrated onto Solana, a blockchain heavily supported by SBF, last year.

该网络的代币HNT目前在写作时以3.62美元的价格交易。在2021年的顶峰上，代币交换了超过50美元，部分原因是当时加密杂志的炒作以及前与FTX创始人Sam Bankman Fried的协会。该项目最初使用了专有区块链，但后来迁移到了去年由SBF大力支持的区块链迁移到Solana。

Earlier this month, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dropped its case against Nova Labs after determining the project’s three tokens — the Helium Network Token (HNT), Helium Mobile Token (MOBILE) and and the Helium IoT Network Token (IoT) — were not unregistered securities.

本月早些时候，美国证券交易委员会在确定该项目的三个令牌（HNT），氦气移动令牌（Mobile）和氦Iot网络Token（IoT）之后，对Nova Labs进行了案件。

The lawsuit was filed in January 2024, in one of the last enforcement actions the agency levied against a crypto project during former SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s tenure. Nova agreed to pay $200,000, without admitting or denying claims involving private placement.

该诉讼于2024年1月提起，该机构在前SEC主席Gary Gensler任职期间针对加密项目的最后执法行动之一提起诉讼。 Nova同意支付200,000美元，而不承认或拒绝涉及私人安置的索赔。
