Today we’re excited to share the newest user of The People’s Network. Please give it up for DIMO!

DIMO started as an internal software tool and data service developed by Digital Infrastructure Services. As a consulting firm and product studio that also builds The People’s Network, DIMO enables innovative technology to actualize more quickly.

While providing service to the mobility, robotics, automotive, public sector, and logistics industries, DIMO has seen interesting and worthwhile projects get scrapped or unnecessarily delayed each step of the way from:

📝 The drawing board

📊 The financing process

😣 Inapt partner selection

⁉ Unclear regulations

🚧 Hidden development complexity

📉 Operations that don’t meet initial performance

Not to mention, projects often need ubiquitous and affordable network infrastructure and connectivity — which is where Helium comes in. With DIMO and the power of The People’s Network, risks are mitigated and potential is unlocked.

Fundamentally, DIMO makes it easier than ever for tech-enabled projects to be collaboratively designed, financed, built, and managed. Think Github and LinkedIn, but for building in the real world.

Projects launched on the Helium Network

How it Works: Three Easy Steps

DIMO allows users to identify where projects have been launched on the Network, conduct function-based searches, check device compatibility, and more. You can even compare other “Full Stack” networking Projects in the DIMO public dataset.

Designers, developer, or financiers interested in completing infrastructure projects using DIMO follow three simple steps:

Access information about service providers, their costs, and their history of delivering against project requirements via the DIMO database. Select from many DIMO pre-built project templates. Use the DIMO Knowledge Graph to assess where to take action:

Where have Projects been launched on the Helium Network?

Search Functions and Projects — what can you do with the Network?

Ultimately, DIMO users are able to surface the best technologies for their projects and connect with service providers to help them build faster.

All projects are easily sorted by a variety of metrics

A DIMOrphic Pairing

The addition of DIMO to The People’s Network signifies additional community resources and new projects in the works!

DIMO is currently working with network operators to provide real-time Hotspot performance data. Soon, the data from these Hotspots will allow The People’s Network and DIMO users to access information on service providers, costs, and their history of delivering against project requirements. Gone are the days of endless internet searching — DIMO and The People’s Network provide the template for building and operating networks as never before.

“We’re excited to use DIMO to move the idea of universally accessible, and locally supported, open networks forward. Helium is a fantastic step in that direction,” says DIMO Founder, Andy Chatham.
