new LongFi GPS tracker Access the world’s largest distributed wireless network.
Invoxia, a global leader in consumer and professional trackers that monitor cars, motorcycles, people, and valuables, today announced the launch of its new LongFi GPS tracker.
Invoxia is the first consumer tracker on the market with smart anti-theft alarms powered by Helium. Helium is the world’s first peer-to-peer wireless network that uses cryptocurrency to compensate people for establishing and sharing hotspots. Game-changing networks provide low-power Internet of Things (IoT) devices with a safe and cost-effective way to send data to and from the Internet without a cellular infrastructure.
Helium is building the world’s largest decentralized wireless network “People’s Network”, simplifying the connection of devices to the Internet by rewarding anyone to become a network operator. With the help of open source blockchain technology, individuals are incentivized to deploy hotspots while mining the encrypted currency HNT and providing hundreds of square miles of LoRaWAN network coverage. Since January 2020, the number of Helium networks has increased tenfold, and by July 2021, it has exceeded 80,000. Since its establishment, Helium Network has grown at an amazing speed.
The network uses a high-efficiency low-power radio protocol that requires little energy but covers a wide area, and only 150-200 hotspots can cover a city the size of Austin. This allows Invoxia LongFi GPS trackers to extend battery life and avoid expensive service fees, providing customers with a more affordable way to track. Outside of Texas, New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago already have hundreds of active hotspots, and thousands of hotspots are deployed every week.
Invoxia CEO Amélie Caudron said:
“With the support of Helium, we are able to expand our product range to take advantage of LongFi’s exciting technology, which is changing the way IoT devices connect.”
