kind: company
description: Helium operates two decentralized wireless networks - a global LoRaWAN network for low-power IoT devices and
  a cellular + Wi-Fi offload network for mobile connectivity (Helium Mobile). The network is settled on the Solana blockchain
  with HNT, IOT, and MOBILE tokens. Developer surface includes the Helium Console / LoRaWAN Network Server APIs used to onboard
  devices and stream uplinks, on-chain Solana programs for the Helium DAO and rewards, the open-source Helium-Program-Library
  and helium-wallet SDKs, and partner-operated Network Servers (e.g. Nova Labs, MeteoScientific).
