This week’s call had no agen­da; it’s nice to do these free flow­ing calls every so often. As a group we decid­ed to exper­i­ment a bit with the for­mat and move to pre-record­ed con­tent one week vs a guest or free form the next. Next week it looks like we may get a demo on…

This was the call I’ve been wait­ing for since fig­ur­ing out the poten­tial of Heli­um and the wave of IoT-enabled deci­sions and busi­ness­es that are com­ing. Bil­l’s pre­sen­ta­tion on where he came from, the state of tech, and where it’s going was fas­ci­nat­ing and inspir­ing. Super stoked to share this with the Crüe! Bill Clee at…

Excit­ed to see some new faces this week and to go wide on what run­ning a telem­at­ics com­pa­ny using Heli­um looks like. Very cool run­down from Thomas Rem­mert from Lon­eS­tar on all the things they’re doing, from tiny ear tags on cat­tle to track­ing vehi­cles to start­ing to use satel­lite backhaul.  Hotspot relo­ca­tion https://futurenetworks.host/relocation-service/ Thomas…

This week we cov­ered a TON of top­ics, from Eric’s flash flood warn­ing project in New Mex­i­co to Nick­’s “Dash­board Epiphany” after talk­ing with Thomas from Tingkart. We hit 5G news, Pol­len’s odd posi­tion on phys­i­cal gam­ing, Heli­um Hotspot dash­boards, and events sur­round­ing the upcom­ing Heli­um House in New York. -$1,500 sen­sor -recep­tion­ist in CBL Indus­tries…

Jumped right into 5G Eco­nom­ics today (not much is known, still Wild West), then went into deal­ing with FUD. From there we flowed into the water lev­el mon­i­tor­ing & flash flood talk, maybe there’s a grant there. Upcom­ing pro­posed talks were for a WISP to talk us through set­ting up advanced back­haul, hav­ing a hydrol­o­gist…

Open call today with no par­tic­u­lar agen­da. Was good to just check in with the Crüe. We talked about the MOBILE price, doing prop­er tax plan­ning (unlike the HNT fias­co many of us went through), and some cool options for blend­ing Heli­um & real estate. Rock ‘n roll! Chat Tran­script: How are you remote man­ag­ing your…

Amaz­ing pre­sen­ta­tion of a tool we’ve all been hop­ing some­one would build; a way to eas­i­ly use the Heli­um Net­work. I saw this tool a while back on Heli­um Hacks Hap­py Hour, and it’s pro­gressed nice­ly since then.  Chat Transcript 09:11:13 From Michael Corum : He is writ­ing all this 09:12:09 From Rus­sell Thomas : Do…

Cov­ered a rea­son­able response to Liron’s amaz­ing­ly pow­er­ful Twit­ter thread as well as the Lime tem­pest in a teacup. The take­away? Keep build­ing, we’ve bare­ly even start­ed. Talked through the low­er prices of Hotspots and a few sen­sor use cas­es. Pro­posed anoth­er group build day for a new sen­sor, then did intros for old &…
