Start Building and Connecting with Helium

IoT firms can help accelerate their customer’s digital transformation by rapidly building applications on Helium.

Helium has built the largest, public LoRaWAN network in the US using a unique, incentive-based approach removing the need to deploy gateways.

Firms building IoT projects on the Helium Network can help businesses unlock new value, improve efficiency, and cut costs.

IoT firms building on the Helium Network can deliver a wide range of solutions, and rapidly build applications that seamlessly fit with existing business models.

The Helium Network

The largest, public LoRaWAN network in the US means no need to purchase or deploy network infrastructure.
Low connectivity costs: $1 per sensor for an entire year^*.
Powerful management tools with network server capabilities included with connectivity costs.
Allows companies to leverage low cost, off-the-shelf sensors and future proof application development investment.
With the Helium Blockchain companies can cryptographically prove the location and time a sensor sent data which is useful for reporting.

^*For a sensor that sends data every 5 minutes.

Increase your IoT solution portfolio

From asset tracking to COVID-19 contact tracing, monitoring environmental conditions or smart parking, the broad coverage of the Helium Network opens up a universe of new possibilities for IoT firms.

With unmatched breadth of coverage, firms can focus on solving core IoT use cases for customers and expand into new ones without allocating resources or CapEx to manage deploy and network infrastructure.

Rapid application development

IoT firms can rapidly deliver value to customers by leveraging hundreds of low-cost sensors that can connect to the Helium Network out of the box minimizing custom development.

Helium uses sub-band 2, and provides tools to switch devices from other networks, including the capability to import multiple devices with a click. Partners can quickly leverage prebuilt-integrations to send data to leading endpoints such as myDevices for rapid prototyping or AWS IoT for production applications.

Business model fit

Everything needed for IoT firms to manage devices and transfer data is bundled with the cost of connectivity including Helium Console.

With Console, developers can provision and manage devices, monitor data activity, and manage connectivity costs. For flexibility, the Console is built on an extensible set of REST APIs.

Built on open source technologies, IoT firms can solve connectivity challenges while future proofing their application work and avoiding vendor lock-in.
