Helium, a decentralised wireless network, has expanded into Europe and in the US launched its first Helium tracker, offering pre-orders in China. Helium, founded by Napster's Shawn Fanning and Amir Haleem, launched its first Iot tracking device a year after its peer-to-peer network went live in more than 1,000 north American cities.


Helium Tabs is The first branded Iot tracker device in The US to run on The People Network. Within a year after the 1000 cities in North America introduced the network, Helium is expansion to Europe, from the beginning in July 2020 Helium hot equipment (Helium Hotspots) began to Europe, and open to China's reservation, to meet the increasing market demand.



Helium's footprint has grown rapidly since its launch in June 2019, with its hotspots covering more than 700,000 square miles in North America. Helium is now expanding into Europe and opening bookings to The Chinese market to allow seamless cross-border connectivity.


Helium's open-source blockchain technology is backed by its advocates, who want everyone to have a self-controlled network and join it. Helium's open-source blockchain technology encourages individuals to deploy hotspots and receive their encrypted tokens, as well as build networks and enable Iot devices to send data to them. When connected to other hotspots nearby, Helium, which relies on the incentive of the HNT to pass on the network, is the backbone of the network.


Helium CEO and co-founder Amir Haleem said: "We are excited to launch Helium Tabs at a time when we are seeing the growth of our public networks in North America." "We couldn't have done what we did in such a short time without the support of our partners and the community." We look forward to launching our public networks in Europe and China and will provide Helium Tabs and other third-party Iot devices to customers there. "


Helium Tabs running on a public network


Unlike other tracking devices, Tabs USES LongFi technology, which combines the LoRaWAN wireless protocol and Helium blockchain to extend network coverage beyond 10 miles from a single hotspot. It's a game changer compared to devices like WiFi and Bluetooth, which work only 100 feet from the source of the network.


In addition, Helium's unique blockchain-based bonus system allows the owner of a hotspot device to receive a Helium (HNT) bonus every time a label connects to its network. In addition to its growing number of partners and customers, Helium is also accelerating the expansion of its Helium Financier program, which it launched in late 2019. Taken together, these three points will help strengthen its network.


Funders are entrepreneurial customers who buy 15 or more hotspots and use them to help cover their cities and make wi-fi available to their customers. In return, donors receive discounts, preferential shipping rights, networking tools and Helium support. Currently, the project has more than 70 customers in North America and will expand to Europe and soon China.


Major brands using Helium include:


Nestle's ReadyRefresh Distribution, a beverage delivery service

Agulus, an agricultural technology company

Conserv, an environmental monitoring platform that gathers a variety of data


Helium TAB is available at $49 for existing hotspot customers. Helium's hotspot currently sells for €450 online in Europe and $588 in China. For more information and purchasing information, please visit our official website.
