Actility and Helium Network Announce Roaming Integration to Scale IoT Coverage and Drive Large Scale Enterprise Adoption Globally

Actility, the leader in IoT connectivity solutions and LPWA technology, and Helium have launched a roaming integration partnership, unlocking affordable and ubiquitous coverage for millions of IoT devices. This roaming integration is made possible by the Helium blockchain, which allows LoRaWAN compatible devices already supported by Actility to utilize coverage provided by the Helium Network and pay a fraction of the cost for data transfer. The interoperability is done through Actility’s ThingPark Exchange, the industry’s first and de facto standard LoRaWAN® IoT peering hub.

The Helium Network is the fastest-growing wireless network, decentralizing connectivity and expanding access to the internet worldwide. In the fewer than two years since the Network’s launch, it has achieved global adoption with more than 215,000 Hotspots deployed in over 19,000 cities. Through this integration with ThingPark Exchange, Actility will be able to immediately bring the Helium Network coverage to 25 already connected networks worldwide, spanning large nationwide public LoRaWAN networks, multinational corporate private networks, and a set of satellite networks, giving them access to scalable, secure, and manageable peering.
