Helium Teams with AT&T to Deliver Decentralized Wi-Fi Coverage Nationwide, Podcast

“Coverage on demand is here—and it's being built by the community.”—Mario Di Dio, General Manager, Network Helium, Nova Labs Mario Di Dio In a groundbreaking step toward redefining wireless connectivity, Helium Network and Nova Labs have teamed up with AT&T to deliver seamless, secure Wi-Fi access across the U.S. through a decentralized network model. In a podcast interview with Technology Reseller News, Mario Di Dio, General Manager of Network Helium at Nova Labs, walked us through this major milestone and explained how Helium is reshaping the economics and delivery of mobile data. Unlike traditional networks built on costly infrastructure and centralized control, the Helium model allows individuals and businesses to host "mini cell towers"—hotspots that contribute to a nationwide mesh network. Now, with AT&T onboard, the Helium Network enables AT&T customers to connect automatically to these community-powered hotspots without any manual setup, thanks to Passpoint-enabled, WPA3-secure connections. “Just walk into a participating venue like a restaurant or community center,” said Di Dio, “and your phone automatically connects to the network without passwords, boosting coverage in hard-to-reach indoor areas.” The benefits extend to small business owners who can offer secure, guest Wi-Fi while earning Helium Network Tokens (HNT) for hosting a hotspot. This not only enhances customer satisfaction but also introduces a new revenue stream. Deployment is flexible—businesses can install purpose-built Helium devices or convert existing hardware from brands like Ubiquiti, Cisco Meraki, and Aruba into Helium-compatible units. A central element of Helium's transparency and scalability is Helium World (world.helium.com), a live, blockchain-backed dashboard that displays real-time data on hotspot locations, user traffic, and network usage. With over 90,000 active hotspots and peaks of over 900,000 users, the platform provides both visibility for carriers and insights for potential deployers. Another standout innovation is Helium's real-time quality of experience (QoE) metrics. “For the first time, carriers can get live KPIs from third-party Wi-Fi connections just like they do from their own cellular networks,” said Di Dio. This allows providers like AT&T to monitor and dynamically manage the user experience, toggling between Wi-Fi and cellular as needed. As Helium expands through partnerships with other mobile and virtual network operators, its vision for “coverage on demand” continues to gain traction. Using an innovative “expansion zone” feature, carriers can request network growth in targeted areas, and Helium's community of deployers responds. With this shift, Di Dio believes we're witnessing the future of wireless—one that's scalable, community-driven, and more responsive to real-world needs. “It's a very interesting economic proposition for carriers, and a practical one for the people and places that make up our connected world,” he said.

"No matter where you start your journey with us, we're here to support you," says Jeanne Duca, Chief Marketing Officer at BCN. In a rapidly evolving telecom landscape, BCN is embracing AI-driven marketing strategies to enhance engagement, streamline content creation, and reinforce its commitment to the channel. In this episode of Technology Reseller News, Jeanne Duca joins Doug Green to discuss BCN's AI-powered marketing approach, new digital content initiatives, and the company's latest advancements in connectivity solutions. BCN's AI-Powered Marketing Evolution With over 30 years in the industry, BCN has built a strong reputation as a managed technology solutions provider, catering primarily to mid-market and enterprise-level businesses. Selling exclusively through the channel, BCN has eliminated channel conflict, making marketing precision and messaging consistency a top priority. To address the need for rapid content creation and enhanced engagement, BCN has integrated AI into its marketing workflow. “The use of AI tools—whether for content creation or avatars for communication—is helping us develop more, better content faster,” says Duca. “This ensures that our technology advisors receive timely, relevant insights they can leverage with their customers.” New Digital Content Initiatives BCN has launched three new content series to better engage its partner community: Beyond the Network Podcast – A thought leadership series featuring technology advisors, TSD community members, and partners discussing industry trends and best practices. Top Shelf with BCN – A relaxed, conversational series discussing emerging technologies, with the debut episode focusing on low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite solutions in partnership with Tuufi Phi. Sunday Tech Trends with BCN – A short video series on key industry trends, paired with interactive LinkedIn surveys to foster engagement and gather real-time feedback from viewers. These initiatives align with BCN's commitment to delivering high-value, digestible content that resonates with today's audiences. “People don't want to read as much anymore,” says Duca. “By leveraging AI for video creation, we can present our messages in a way that aligns with how people prefer to consume content.” AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement Duca emphasizes that AI is a productivity tool that enhances, but does not replace, human creativity and strategy. “AI is the engine, but human ingenuity is the driver,” she explains. “The brands that find the right balance between the two will stand out in the industry.” This mindset extends to internal communications as well. AI-driven content strategies have helped BCN enhance employee engagement, streamline training materials, and reinforce its core messaging across all stakeholders. “Our internal messaging needs to be just as clear and consistent as our external communications,” Duca notes. “The BCN experience is built on alignment between our employees, partners, and customers.” Advancing Connectivity and Security Looking ahead to 2025, BCN is redefining connectivity to meet the growing demands of AI-driven applications and digital transformation initiatives. “Connectivity has always been at the heart of our solutions, but today, customers want it to be unbreakable and secure,” says Duca. BCN's SD-WAN portfolio, which now includes Adaptive Networks alongside Cato, BigLeaf, Cisco Meraki, and Peplink, ensures customers have resilient, high-performance connectivity tailored to their needs. “With AI-powered applications driving unprecedented bandwidth requirements, customers need secure, redundant, and scalable solutions,” Duca adds. Meet BCN at Channel Partners 2025 BCN will be at Channel Partners 2025 in Las Vegas, where the company will host a networking reception and private meetings in its Palazzo suite. “We're looking forward to seeing our partners and welcoming new connections,” says Duca. “And yes,

I have a question for you. Does systemic oppression cause burnout? You are in my community, so I already know that you know the answer to that question. The wonderful news is that I have a friend, who is with us on this episode, to help us break down exactly what that means. Just a heads up: this conversation is largely targeted for my friends who are women of color. However, if you do not fit or fall into that category, I sincerely invite you to stick around and hear this conversation because there is a wonderful chance that not only is this going to help you relate to women of color, but I have a feeling it's going to heal some things inside of you as well. There is a reason you are here and I sincerely invite you to stick around. Michelle Emmanuelle is here to chat with us about systemic oppression and how we can heal. Michelle has over 15 years of experience as an educator, wellness coach, and consultant. Through her Empowering Resilience workshops, Michelle serves a diverse set of organizations. For instance, the global leadership team at Cisco Meraki, ERG leads at Ripple, team leaders at Ubisoft, managers at Airbnb, Catholic Charities Organization, and the Professional Women's Group with Dress for Success. Michelle also offers one-on-one coaching for burnout recovery for women of color. Michelle Emmanuelle's philosophy is that change only happens when it is sustainable and accompanied with ongoing support and accountability. Her training helps to offer you all of the above. She has certifications in somatic coaching, healing, race-based trauma, somatic stress and anxiety release, and over 500 hours of yoga training. Most of the women in my community are wearing a lot of hats. It can be challenging to manage a household, a job, a family and friends without burning out. So I asked Michelle: how do we stop being the last people on our to-do list? Her first response? Consistency and creating habits around self-care. Michelle goes on to say, “When I do workshops, I always just start by doing a reframe, and I tell people that adding anything else to their schedule is overwhelming. And so it's like, forget it. Even if it's something that's good for you, people are like, it's not happening. So my reframe to people is like, I'm not asking you to add another thing to your schedule. What I'm asking you to do is integrate what's already there.” Highlights of this episode: We discuss the importance of community and how it can help heal racial trauma. Michelle Fox shares how the untimely death of her father drives her to find solutions to build healthier communities. Michelle Emmanuelle shares how we can stop being the last people on our to-do lists and leads us in a 30 second practice to calm our nervous systems. Michelle Emmanuelle defines systemic oppression and both Michelle's share an experience of micro-aggression. ✨Go to michellefox.com/podcast for SHOW NOTES, TRANSCRIPT, and a link to this YOUTUBE episode.✨ Links mentioned in this episode: Michelle Emmanuelle's website: sustainablechangemaker.com (Women of Color Group Coaching and BIPOC Group Coaching for Change Makers) Michelle Emmanuelle on Instagram: @wellness8elle Connect with Michelle: Free meal planner: michellefox.com/planner Instagram: @michellefoxlove Facebook: @michellefoxlove Website: michellefox.com
