# Helium Network

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/helium-network/  
**Website:** https://www.helium.com/  
**APIs profiled:** 5

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).
