In my experience, the areas in purple, red and yellow are guaranteed good signal, the areas in green are about 50% chance of communication success, the areas in blue (not seen in the above graph but if you change RX sensitivity it will show) are about 15% chance of communication. The areas with no color have a 0% chance of communication
But Haleem’s contention is that if the goal is to try to connect a bunch of data-sipping, low-cost devices to the network, the cost of building a centralized network is simply too high. Instead, the network must be decentralized and look more like a shared, user-created network.

I got rid of the cheap external antenna I previously used and bought the MikroTik LoRa 6.5dBi Omni Antenna, this works properly with the LoRa network Helium. The result of this is that the number of hotspots I have connected to has increased from around 3 to around 25, and my earnings have improved to over 10HNT per day.

And the Helium hotspot range is ... crazy. Helium has a map of hotspot locations on its website, but it doesn't show the range from each location, so that map is less helpful than it might be. Haleem says that his hotspots—which are the size of a hardback book, mind you, with a normal router antenna sticking out of them—can get "several hundred square miles" per hotspot in rural areas, which is kind of crazy. (The network is not a mesh.)
You can think of Data Credits like mobile minutes someone might purchase for a prepaid phone plan. In order to pay for the transmission of sensor and device data, enterprises and developers need to use Data Credits.

Helium LongFi™ is a technology architecture that combines a leading wireless technology, LoRaWAN, and the Helium Blockchain. LongFi™ is optimised for miles of range, and long battery life for IoT devices.
Then there is a synchronization process that takes up to two days. During this time, RAK Hotspot Miner v2 will be downgrading the blockchain to local. During this time, you may feel that the device is getting a little warm. However, it should be noted that the temperature is very low in normal time.
As previously stated the “free” hardware is a marketing gimmick. The idea is very much to eventually get you to invest real money into HNT.
Nebra, Bobcat, and Rakwireless have fairly good hotspots and will provide a great helium mining experience.
I believe I-Hub will be short-lived. Like the TV, computer, tablet, and cell phone, every home and business will have an IOT Hotspot to transfer signals which cell towers can’t or won’t due to efficiencies and cost. The wise consumer will install their own and keep 100% of any financial gains.
Thousands of existing solutions, sensors, devices and gateways can be easily configured to run LongFi - a powerful blend of LoRaWAN and blockchain technologies.
Owners of CoolSpot devices are rewarded with HNT based on connectivity to their hotspot.
The EU uses the same 868 MhZ frequency as the UK, I think the only difference is the plug socket you get, which should be an easy fix.
The Helium Token (symbol: HNT) serves as the native cryptocurrency and protocol token of the Helium blockchain. Hotspot hosts and network operators mine HNT when they become part of The People’s Network while providing and maintaining network coverage.
Think of what we’ve done with blockchain technology in the last 10 years. Imagine what we will be able to do 10-20 years from now. Naysayers to technological change will always be left behind.
