Helium Hotspot

The Helium Hotspot enables anyone to own and operate a wireless network for low-power Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The Helium Hotspot provides hundreds of square miles of connectivity and can transmit data at a fraction of the cost of a cellular network.

Helium uses an open-source LongFi architecture, which combines the LoRaWAN wireless protocol and the Helium blockchain. Hotspots also acts as miners on the Helium blockchain so owners can earn a new cryptocurrency (HNT), for building the network and transferring IoT device data.

Smart pet collars, environmental sensors, bike trackers, or any compatible IoT device can connect to Helium Hotspots without Wi-Fi or cellular networks, inspiring innovation and enabling new use cases. The Helium Network is present in North America and Europe.

What Is Proof Of Coverage

Image
Proof of Coverage Proof of Coverage is the new algorithm that was created for Helium. It verifies that the Hotspots in the network are physically located where they claim, and that they are honestly representing the wireless coverage that’s being created by the Hotspot for its location. Why Proof of Coverage? The success of the Helium network is dependent on it being able to provide reliable wireless network coverage for the connected devices using the network. This required a work algorithm that was specifically created to fulfill that use case. With Proof of Coverage the Helium network and blockchain are able to take advantage of the unique properties provided by radio frequency to produce proofs which are meaningful for the network and those using the network. In particular, Proof of Coverage relies on these three characteristics: RF has limited physical propagation and, therefore, distance; The strength of a received RF signal is inversely proportional to the square of the dis
