Helium is partnering with Dish Network to expand its crypto-based distributed 5G platform. Helium is a project focused on the 5G Internet of Things. On October 26, it was announced that it has taken an important step towards further expansion as a new partner with Dish Network.

According to the announcement, the partnership will offer Dish Network subscribers the opportunity to operate Helium nodes and earn HNT token rewards for sharing 5G wireless services with people in their region.

The Dish Network partnership is the latest in a year of intense growth for the Helium network, which currently has more than 256,000 individual nodes operated by 93,561 users worldwide. This partnership with Dish Network was made possible by a community vote in April and through partnership with FreedomFi approved the addition of a second 5G-capable network to the protocol. This will enable Helium to offer support for devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops.
