Telcos aren’t the future. You are.

Coco Tang   

Analysts claim in the next few years a tsunami of 20-30+ billion connected devices. However, the current networking infrastructure is too costly or complex for IoT devices.

Not satisfied with dominating our phones and computers, telco giants want to own connectivity for everything else. To control how we connect with billions of devices and collect data from our interactions with the everyday world.

What if there was another option? A new kind of open, decentralized wireless network powered by blockchain and built by individuals that delivered range and roaming capabilities similar to cellular without the high cost or battery drain.

In this session, learn how to leverage this new peer-to-peer wireless network to collect data from any IoT device, with a Helium module (or a make-your-own module using off-the-shelf components and the code we’ve released under open source licensing) and transfer it to the cloud in minutes.
