Helium coverage map how to#

I’ve written about how to optimize your hotspot placement, which antenna is best, how much you can expect to earn, and more. Have a look through this blog, reading it will be a useful addition to your 10 hours. With that much study, not only can you avoid those mistakes, you’ll easily sidestep all the other low-earning pitfalls that many hotspot owners stumble into. With about 10 hours of serious reading or study you’ll be in the top 1% of knowledgeable hotspot owners in the entire ecosystem, and you won’t make these. If you just remember WUPU and apply it to every step of your deployment you can avoid them. If your connection is unreliable, you’re not really providing Useful coverage.Īll of these mistakes are as common as they are avoidable. Save yourself a TON of trouble and just hardline the thing in. The hotspots so far released don’t have super strong WiFi reception, so they end up going offline, or missing a signal, or just disconnecting. This is a smaller mistake but a source of frustration. Hey, I don’t make the rules (even though I think the Proveable rule is an excellent one.) 5 – Not connecting via a solid (usually ethernet cable) connection. Even if they’re providing Wide, Unique, and Useful coverage, it’s not Proveable, so it doesn’t really count. Related but usually not common with people who want to crush is the lone wolf deployment, where someone puts in a hotspot that through topography or distance can’t connect with any other hotspot.

If you put your antenna in a window down low, you are providing a very small area of useful coverage, it will be more difficult to verify it because your signal will be weak, and if there are any other hotspots around you you’ll probably be duplicating their efforts. Look, Helium is a HUGE opportunity, but that opportunity will only exist as a tremendous one for hotspot owners who provide WUPU. 4 – Not getting your antenna outside and up at elevation Type it into Google exactly as you’d ask an expert and add “Helium Hotspot” at the end, or type the key words into the Helium Discord channel and scroll through the results. Trust me, you are not the first person with your question. You end up wasting a ton of your own time and that of others by asking a question in the forums that you could have answered far more thoroughly and profitably had you used a Search function.
