Mambo WiFi and Helium form JV to boost mobile coverage in Brazil

Brazilian software firm Mambo WiFi and US-based Helium have created a joint venture to expand mobile coverage in Brazil using Helium’s decentralised network of Wi-Fi offload hotspots.

The partnership aims to let mobile users shift data traffic from traditional cellular networks onto Wi-Fi hotspots, which can help improve coverage and reduce pressure on mobile infrastructure. Details on rollout timelines, target regions, or commercial terms were not disclosed.
