Helium Hotspots are like the routers you use for wi-fi the difference is that helium hotspots don't transmit a wi-fi signal they transmit a quote long phi signal similar to radio. This gives helium hotspots a range of dozens and even hundreds of kilometers compared to the measly 50 meter range most wi-fi routers have. This makes it easy to transmit small packets of data to from and between any supported wireless devices which fall within the range of a helium hotspot. The low signal frequency used by helium hotspots also means that they use next to no energy and take next to no energy from the devices. They communicate with best of all the instructions to make a helium hotspot are open source meaning you could make your own helium hotspot from scratch if you really want it.
As of December 2020 manufacturers can also apply with the helium community to mass produce hotspots of their own and more than 13 companies have successfully done. Because helium hotspots are connected to the internet this makes it possible for developers to request data from any compatible devices which fall within the range of the helium network.
Individuals and organizations can also deploy their own Helium Compatible devices to do things like supply chain management and in the case of lime track the status of electric scooters. All this data can be accessed requested and managed using the Helium Console which can be easily integrated with popular platforms such as google drive and Microsoft. Azure fetching data from helium hotspots costs cryptocurrency and this is where the Helium Blockchain comes in.
