One of the largest telecommunication services provider. Telefónica (TEF), is rolling out mobile hotspots in Mexico City and Oaxaca in partnership with Nova Labs, which is built atop the Helium Mobile blockchain.
Telefónica customers will be able to tap into Helium’s mobile hotspots with the intention of improving mobile coverage using data sharing, according to a Helium blog post. The publicly traded telecom giant, with more than $20 billion market cap, has 383 million customers and operates in Europe and Latin America.
“This program in Mexico is critical to evaluate performance and customer satisfaction of this solution and its associated costs,” said José Juan Haro, chief wholesale and public affairs officer at Telefónica.
The partnership with Telefónica will also enable offloading of mobile data to the Helium Mobile Network, which is hoped to improve network coverage for customers, according to the blog post.
