“Ameriband’s extensive network will be deployed at well-known retailers, supermarket chains, venues and commercial locations across the country and will help drive the use of the Helium Network. Thanks to this partnership, anyone with a Helium mobile phone subscription will experience connectivity in even more locations than before,” Helium said in the blog post.
This was a huge win for Helium, as the network expansion all but guarantees connectivity for US users. This means that Helium users who previously experienced connectivity issues will experience fewer or no connectivity issues in the coming weeks and months. It also ensures that the average retail user gets access to the Helium network, potentially contributing to the growing number of users of the platform’s mobile arm.
The carrier offload program takes care of up to 130,274 subscribers from three different network providers with more than 122 TB of data routed to the Helium network, numbers that will continue to grow as the Ameriband partnership takes effect.

HNT bulls are in the midst of attempting to retest the current $6.79 resistance level. At the time of writing, HNT is still at its lowest level, with the token possibly making another dip towards $6.23 in the coming days or weeks.
However, the relative strength index (RSI) indicates a possible bullish reversal this week or next week.

However, the rising market correlation with the broader market could jeopardize the token’s bullish momentum that is currently building. With this in mind, HNT could continue to stabilize between the $6.23-$6.79 trading range in the coming days, but could drop towards $6.23 or $5.67 if the bears remain superior in the coming months.
