Hey everyone,

I’ve been considering what to do with my Helium CBRS unit—I was actually about to take it down, but now I’m wondering if I can repurpose it for World Mobile instead. Is there a guide or a way to reset/reprogram Helium HNT hotspots so they can be used as AirNodes on the WMT network?

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s tried this or knows how it might be done. If it’s possible, I’m definitely interested in giving my unit a second life. Thanks in advance for any tips or guidance!

Cheers!

Hey @Oligo,

Yeah, this is something a lot of people are curious about! There’s work happening behind the scenes, but nothing official has been announced yet.

Sounds like you’re not the only one holding off on taking down a Helium CBRS unit—hopefully, we’ll get some good news soon!

I’ve been wondering the same. Would be great if there was a way to reflash or repurpose those units instead of just letting them collect dust. A lot of us already invested in the hardware, so even a partial reuse for AirNode deployment would be a win.
