  • What are your plans for software setup and configuration for the devices? This would includes remote updates and the ability for hosts to change wifi settings, via Helium's official app or otherwise. We will implement onboarding by QR code, internet interface will be cellular or ethernet or fiber cable. Upgrading remotely by FOTA. This would includes remote updates and the ability for hosts to change wifi settings, via Helium's official app or otherwise.

Manufacturing Information (required)

  • Have you built and delivered radio hardware products before? Yes.
  • Have you built gateways before? Yes.
  • How many gateways did you make? Hundreds of thousands.
  • If you have not built gateways before, are you using a third party manufacturer? This is the single largest risk with most hardware ventures. If possible please provide information about your manufacturing partners and supply chain.
  • Where are you sourcing your components from? Many places around the world and we do have also self-manufacturing operation.
  • How many radio modules/ concentrators can you procure? We have our own manufacture facilities, and we also produce with sub-contractors, and we have a full control of the supply chain. That will allow us to reach very high volume of radio modules and GWs to meet almost any market demand
