Gristle Crüe — WeatherXM with Manos
It’s always exciting to talk with the founder of a blockchain + meatspace project, and this discussion with Manos at WeatherXM was no exception. As normally happens, I went in with one understanding and left with another. Deepening our understanding of these worlds is critical to making good decisions. Ya can’t make a good call…

Gristle Crüe Pollen Brief — What is Pollen?
We spent almost the entire hour covering the Pollen project, which is very similar to the Helium 5G play, using a DeWi model for CBRS radio. Pollen is a little different, though for people who’ve participated in Helium the learning curve is fairly easy. Here’s the presentation, which’ll walk you through the essential elements of…

Gristle Crüe Community Call — Health Effects of Helium 5G
We got a full data dump from Dr. Subham Desgupta today on the research he’s done on the health effects of CBRS on biological organisms. Was rad to not only get the takeaway, but also to understand what is known vs not known, and what is likely vs unlikely. Very cool to see some cutting…

Gristle Crüe Community Call — 5G Questions, Sensor Building
We got to catch up a bit this week on deployment questions on 5G. The Crüe shared news on how we’re thinking about deploying 5G units, what the risks & rewards might be, and a few nuances like mappers & PoC. We also talked about a community build project of Joey’s Air Quality monitor, which…

Gristle Crüe Community Call — Max on HIPs 51–53
Max from PPL has gotten deep into the changes that HIP 51–53 will bring, and came on the GC call this week to walk us through what they mean, how to understand them, and what the implications are for buying, onboarding, and running both LoRa and 5G Hotspots in the coming months. Very cool! Max from…

Gristle Crüe Community Call — Sensors, Antenna Analysis, and some BIG ideas!
Local EE & experimental scientist Dirk Beer came on the Crüe call to talk about some of the sensor work he’s done and a very cool little antenna analysis tool he built. Jameson Buffmire filled in the second half with some really interesting ideas on where Helium might go as well as the challenges &…

Gristle Crüe Community Call — Helium House
We’re back from Helium House and talking about what was (and WASN’T!) discussed there. We’re catching up on the news as the last few GC Calls have all been with guest experts, so we finally got a chance to talk about HIP 51–53, installing 5G units, and what’s new in the world of blockchain +…

Gristle Crüe Community Call — GEODNET
Mike Horton from GEODNET joined us today to walk us through the project, from where and how to place ’em to why it’s important to have centimeter accuracy. By the end of the show we had a couple of Crüe members put in orders and heard the story about the multi-million dollar data transfer bill…

Gristle Crüe Community Call — 5/30/22
Back to talk more about sensors and talk about how to pull the thread all the way through, from data collected to the visualized output. Nick from UplinkEngine (owned by LSS) came on and we walked through some of the challenges of the People Counter project as well as brainstormed some really cool solutions with…

Gristle Crüe Community Call — FOAM 5/24/22
Had the folks from FOAM on today to talk us through what they’re doing and how to participate. A pretty exciting project, and one more excellent “blockchain + meatspace” option to put on your Helium Hotspot locations. As we move away from relying totally on PoC/HNT rewards, finding projects like these early is going to…
