Only 50-100 Hotspots are needed to provide coverage for an entire city.Ī variety of Helium Hotspots are available through third-party manufacturers that have been approved by the Helium Community. Hotspots also act as miners on the Helium blockchain, incentivizing anyone to deploy a Hotspot and earn HNT for building the network and transferring device data at a fraction of the cost compared to cellular. Hotspots are plug-and-play wireless devices that provide connectivity 200 times farther than Wi-Fi with Helium LongFi, the combination of the LoRaWAN wireless protocol and the Helium blockchain. With a growing network of Helium Hotspots around the world, developers and businesses are able to affordably connect a new class of IoT devices that would otherwise be impossible, from remote wildfire or environmental sensors to smart pet collars, scooters, and bikes being tracked across any city.
In an effort to build a global, ubiquitous wireless network, individuals are incentivized to host Hotspots - nodes that simultaneously mine HNT for building and securing the Network, while providing connectivity to nearby devices. Launched in July 2019, Helium is an open-source blockchain network designed to power Internet of Things (IoT) devices with wireless connectivity.
