#News(IoTStack) [ via IoTGroup ]

Network grows to more than 1,000 cities across North America and Europe, offering connectivity for up to hundreds of millions of LoRa®-based devices.
Semtech Corporation announced its expanded collaboration with Helium, the company behind one the world’s first peer-to-peer wireless networks based on Semtech’s LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® protocol.
Today, Helium’s LoRaWAN network infrastructure is considered among the fastest growing of its kind, reaching more than 1,000 cities in North America and expanding to Europe.

Helium was mentioned in IoTNext 2018 plenary session on IoT Blockchain

“Helium has seen incredible growth on its network as a result of its partnership with Semtech and the introduction of the Helium Blockchain as an incentive model to the LoRaWAN community.”
“As we continue to expand the network across North America and in Europe, we hope to foster the growth of the ecosystem and make new technologies and solutions available to developers, industries and ultimately, consumers.”

Helium’s network is powered by the Helium Hotspot, a device enabling end consumers to own and operate a LoRa-based wireless network for the Internet of Things (IoT).
Combining Semtech’s LoRa devices with Helium’s distributed, open-sourced approach to building a ubiquitous network allows the simplified deployment of applications across North America and Europe.
Featuring a community of more than 8,000 software developers in the LoRa ecosystem, the network is currently available to connect up to hundreds of millions of compatible LoRa-based devices.
Several leading IoT solution providers currently utilize Helium’s network infrastructure, including:
As part of its mission to grow its LoRaWAN network offerings, Helium has entered a multi-year strategic alliance with Cal-Chip Connected Devices, a division of Cal-Chip Electronics Specialty Products, Inc., and a global distributor and value added service provider in the IoT space with a focus on Semtech’s LoRa devices.
