The new network solution for helium rookie

In the face of the upcoming internet of things, how to solve the problem of wireless connection between devices and data transmission problems are the focus of many enterprises and developers. Wi-Fi? Bluetooth? Helium says I have a better solution.

Helium is a company located in San Francisco, USA, founded just over a year ago. Its product helium is a platform for providing wireless network connectivity to smart devices. Through its man-built man (metropolitan area NX), smart devices can connect to the helium platform to deliver data, and the company has just set up their first man in San Francisco and is inviting developers to join the network for testing.

This picture shows how helium is connected:

The user connects to the area's helium bridge through the helium module on the smart device, connects to the helium platform through bridge, and the data reaches the receiving end through the platform.

The helium platform has the following features: 1, a bridge covers a wide range of official data can reach 50 square miles (about 130 square kilometers). 2, Helium module in the transmission and acceptance of data, the power consumption is very low, than wi-fi,zigbee,cellular even low-power Bluetooth connection power consumption is much lower. Test data shows battery life is 765 times times Cellular connection mode, sending 10 bytes of data power consumption only low-power Bluetooth of two 1%. 3, with all other platforms compared to the lowest tariff standards, which for enterprise users is undoubtedly a great temptation.

In addition, the security of the helium platform is excellent. The data is encrypted when it leaves the device, and if there is a system vulnerability helium can also allow you to make remote system updates to the device. Helium can also be used to build a completely private network where your data is not exposed to a public network at all.

Speaking of so many advantages, helium in the actual application of the performance will be what? We also have to wait for helium beta to be tested in San Francisco, hoping for more developers to add to the test to improve the platform. If true, as the official propaganda says, Helium's network solution will be the Gospel of Internet developers.
