Helium LongFi is a technology architecture that combines the leading wireless technology, LoRaWAN, and the Helium Blockchain. LongFi is optimized for miles of range, and long battery life for IoT devices.
RAK Hotspot earns Helium when devices connect, and for validating wireless coverage delivered by peers. Using a system called Proof-of-Coverage, RAK Hotspot earns more Helium when they’re in range of other RAK Hotspot, but need to be at least 300 meters apart.
Range depends on the environment. For rural areas, up to 10 miles or more, but in more dense areas, up to a mile. Single RAK Hotspot earns less as they can only issue Challenges over the internet, and can’t participate in Proof-of-Coverage.
- Deliver many square miles of coverage from a single RAK Hotspot.
- Based on initial testing, only about 50 to 100 RAK Hotspots are needed to provide complete coverage for an entire city.
- 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
