Helium is a better way to build wireless infrastructure

The People’s Network is the world's first peer-to-peer wireless network that provides a secure and cost-effective way for low-power Internet of Things devices to send data to and from the Internet.

Blockchain

The Helium Blockchain is a new blockchain built from the ground up to incentivize the creation of decentralized, public wireless networks.

It's based on a new, novel work algorithm called Proof of Coverage, and rewards miners in HNT, the native token of the Helium blockchain.

Proof-of-Coverage

Proof-of-Coverage is a unique work algorithm that uses radio waves to validate Hotspots are providing legitimate wireless coverage.

For this validation work Hotspots can earn HNT by verifying network transactions, adding new blocks to the blockchain, and performing other tasks.

The People’s Network is the world’s fastest growing wireless network ever.

LongFi

LongFi combines the LoRaWAN wireless protocol with Helium blockchain so any LoRaWAN device can transfer data on the Helium Network.

LongFi delivers roaming capabilities and supports micropayment transactions so customers only pay based on network usage without needing to deploy gateways or network servers.

DEVICE ROAMING

Devices can relay through every Hotspot

MICROPAYMENTS

Devices pay for access with Data Credits

LORAWAN SUPPORT

Any LoRaWAN device is compatible with The People's Network
