what's helium network?

Helium is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that enables individuals to deploy and own wireless hotspots for IoT and mobile connectivity. The network rewards participants with HNT tokens for providing coverage and data transfer services. It operates on blockchain technology to create a people-powered alternative to traditional telecom infrastructure. Key features include support for LoRaWAN for IoT, 5G for mobile, and integration with partners for broader utility. Helium has expanded to include WiFi and other networks under its "Network of Networks" framework.
