Amir Haleem, the CEO of Nova Labs, said, “We set out to build the largest IoT network, one capable of supporting global businesses with features like cold chain monitoring, flood and fire detection. We’re excited to pass the torch to the LoneStar team as they specialise in industrial and mission-critical IoT applications to carry the Helium IoT mission forward. This transition not only marks a significant milestone in our decentralisation journey but also allows us to focus on the continued growth of Helium Mobile. We look forward to expanding our wireless services and empowering communities to create and own their network infrastructure, while LoneStar builds upon the strong foundation we’ve established to drive innovation in IoT solutions.”
