Helium provides smart device communication and management without the compromises of other IoT platforms.
Helium reduces your total IoT cost of operations. Our easy to deploy, low cost hardware is scalable, secure and supported by sophisticated operating tools so that you always have the control.
Helium's wireless and secure data routing infrastructure can be dropped in to any existing IoT application architecture.
Build your own secure PAN with long-range, low-power, bi-directional communication based on 802.15.4.
Zero-config deployment, secure routing infrastructure, and OTA updates all handled via API or Helium Dashboard.
Helium provides a simple, secure way to deliver data from your device into the cloud. Whatever combination of hardware or cloud services you use, the Helium solution will improve your workflow, speed up development, and allow you to focus on your business differentiation.
With Helium, generating your own coverage is simple and cost-effective. Element Access Points relay data from Atom-based devices from miles away directly to your cloud applications. With Helium you can build secure, robust networks optimized for your use case.
There are seemingly hundreds of IoT connectivity options available today - but how many actually scale easily while maintaining their operational benefits? When choosing a connectivity strategy, it’s important to understand performance as well as ease of deployment and ongoing management.

Helium Dashboard makes configuring, monitoring, and updating your deployments simple. Device data can be easily sent to any cloud service through a range of built-in integrations known as Channels. Device activation, teams, and subscriptions can all be actively monitored for real-time updates.
Helium's radio technology allows for long-range, low-power communication with hardware-based security, meaning zero-configuration and authenticated data transport. Helium provides up to 250kbit/sec data rates for thousands of devices in production environments by dynamically switching between two frequency bands. And we handle all of this in the background after you connect your devices with just a few lines of code.
Helium security keys live in a vault and are based on a hardware root of trust. Each device has its own security key securely burned into the hardware at manufacturing time. Keys are managed and updated periodically, ensuring the encryption, authentication and authorization of all data and devices connecting to the Helium cloud, so only your devices connect to your Helium network.
Every Atom module is preflashed with its own set of physical security keys at manufacturing.
The per-device keys are used to establish a secure wireless connection to Helium.
Helium ensures the physical security and management of device keys.
Using a device-signed certificate, an authenticated connection to a cloud provider is established.
