SyncroBit HNT Gateway
Introduction
The SyncroB.it HNT Gateway supports the LoRaTM physical layer technology and complies with the LoRaWAN specification defined by the LoRa AllianceTM to provide LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) wireless connectivity for low data rate, battery-powered devices and sensors. Through unlicensed sub-GHz radio, a wide variety of Internet of Things (IoT) endpoints that require low power operation or long-range transmission distances can now be connected and located more economically than ever before. Example use cases include asset tracking, water and gas metering, environmental monitoring, waste management, smart street lighting, smart agriculture, and many others.
Solution Overview
- Helium LongFi
Helium LongFi combines the LoRaWAN wireless protocol with the Helium Blockchain so any compatible LoRaWAN device can transfer data on The People’s Network. LongFi delivers roaming capabilities and supports micropayment transactions so customers only pay based on network usage without needing to deploy gateways or network servers. - LoRa
LoRa is a disruptive RF physical layer modulation technology that offers long-distance wireless connectivity,nexcellent power efficiency, very high receiver sensitivity, robust spectrum spreading, and securely encrypted transmissions. It operates on unlicensed Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) frequencies, for which 863 – 870 MHz spectrum and spectrum subsets are available for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India, and 902 – 928 MHz spectrum and spectrum subsets can be utilized in the Americas and in Asia-Pacific countries. - LoRaWAN
LoRaWAN is a MAC (Media Access Control) protocol specification defined by the LoRa Alliance that complements the LoRa physical layer. It is supported by an established ecosystem of LoRaWAN compliant devices that are available from multiple vendors, and which can be certified for interoperability by the LoRa Alliance.
Hotspot Miner
- Proof-of-Coverage (POC)
Hotspots on the network are randomly and automatically assigned Proof-of-Coverage tests to complete. Passing and witnessing tests earns HNT.2 - Relay Device Data
Hotspots earn HNT for transferring device data over the network. The more device data a Hotspot transfers, the more it earns. - Consensus Groups
Trusted Hotspots are elected to the Consensus Group and earn HNT by validating transactions and adding blocks to the blockchain.
