Telefónica and Nova Labs team up for Helium Mobile Hotspots in Mexico to extend coverage of mobile services in select locations. 
Nova Labs, the creator of <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/helium/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Helium Network</a>, has announced a partnership agreement with <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/telefonica/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Telefónica</a>, a multinational telecommunications company, to launch Helium Mobile Hotspots in <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/mexico/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mexico</a>. As per a <a href="https://blog.hellohelium.com/telefonica/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blog post</a>, the new product will improve mobile coverage for select customers in Mexico City and Oaxaca. 
The joint solution, which is said to be based on the OpenWifi standard developed by the Telecom Infra Project, enables select Movistar customers in Mexico to access the Helium Mobile Network using their Movistar SIM cards for authentication. Telefónica, in its turn, monitors hotspot status before allowing access and data downloads over the Helium Mobile Network.
