    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?

    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

    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

    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!

    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

    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

    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

    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…
