Efficient hotspot for a new cryptocurrency, Helium (HNT)
Complete set-up in minutes using a smartphone
LongFi™ technology maximizes range and battery life
Low Power – uses about the same amount as a 5W LED bulb
Easily manage Hotspots and tokens from the mobile app
LongFi™ Technology
Helium LongFi™ is a technology architecture that combines a leading wireless technology, LoRaWAN, and the Helium Blockchain. LongFi™ is optimized for miles of range, and long battery life for IoT devices.
Proof-of-Coverage
RAK Hotspot V2 earn HNT when devices connect, and for validating wireless coverage delivered by peers. Using a system called Proof-of-Coverage, RAK Hotspot V2 earn more HNT when they're in range of other RAK Hotspot V2, but need to be at least 300 meters apart.
Range depends on the environment, for rural areas up to 10 miles or more, but for more dense areas up to a mile. Single RAK Hotspot V2 earn less as they can only issue Challenges over the internet, and can’t participate in Proof-of-Coverage.
Miles of Wireless Coverage
Deliver many square miles of coverage from a single RAK Hotspot V2
Based on initial testing, only about 50 to 100 RAK Hotspot V2 are needed to provide complete coverage for an entire city
Connect Anything
Create a new global network for billions of devices
Any IoT device can become Helium-enabled using readily available off-the-shelf hardware components, software, and a reference design that is open source for anyone to improve upon
