Description

Nebra Helium Outdoor Hotspot HNT Miner US/CAN 915MHz
POE Injector Included
Batch 4 PREORDER
These are currently sold out due to high demand, and Nebra has halted all further pre-orders at this time to meet this demand. This auction includes the Power over Ethernet injector to allow powering the outdoor node via ethernet cable only greatly expanding the installation possibilities. The hotspot can be used with or without included injector based on needs.
This is a pre-order, and as such is subject to shipping timelines controlled by Nebra. Batch 4 is currently scheduled for August delivery.
I will ship immediately upon receipt of the item.

Introducing the Nebra HNT Outdoor Hotspot Miner
Earn HNT cryptocurrency by mining Helium and building coverage for The People’s Network using the Nebra HNT Outdoor Hotspot Miner. Anyone can join The People's Network and provide hundreds of square miles of wireless network coverage, while mining HNT on the Helium Blockchain just as hotspot miners do.
The Outdoor HNT Hotspot Miner opens up a plethora of opportunities, such as the ability to mount a hotspot to the side of buildings, houses and roofs. It's an ideal solution for wider coverage applications across villages, towns and cities.
Efficient miner for a new cryptocurrency, Helium (HNT)
Complete set-up in minutes using a smartphone
LongFi™ technology maximises range and battery life
Low Power – uses as much power as a broadband router (15W)
Easily manage Hotspots and tokens from the mobile app
LongFi™ Technology
Helium LongFi™ is a technology architecture that combines a leading wireless technology, LoRaWAN, and the Helium Blockchain. LongFi™ is optimised for miles of range, and long battery life for IoT devices.
Frequency Selection
The Nebra HNT Outdoor Hotspot Miner comes in three different frequency variants:
470 MHz (CN470) - this is suitable for China.
868 MHz (EU868, IN865, RU864) - this is suitable for EU, India, Russia and a variety of other countries.
915 MHz (US915, AU915, KR920, AS923-1/2/3) - this is suitable for USA, Australia, New Zealand and lots of countries in South America and Asia.
If you are unsure which frequency you need to order you can take a look at our
"What Helium Region"
tool created by our engineer Ryan.
In the Nebra HNT hotspot miners, the frequency plan for the LoRa concentrator (for example US915 or AU915) is determined automatically based on the location that you choose for the "location assert". This means that within the frequency variants (470 MHz, 868 MHz, 915 MHz) you can move it to a new location with a different frequency plan and it will auto-update. This only works within a single frequency - for example you can change from a US915 to AU915 location. But you can't change from a US915 location to EU868 or CN470 without changing the concentrator module.
Proof of Coverage
The Nebra HNT Outdoor Hotspot Miner earns HNT Helium tokens when devices connect, and for validating wireless coverage delivered by peers. Using a system called Proof-of-Coverage, Hotspot Miners earn more HNT when they're in range of other miners, but need to be at least 300 metres apart.
The range depends on the environment:
Rural areas: ~10 miles or more.
Dense areas: ~ 1 mile.
Single HNT Hotspot Miners earn less as they can only issue Challenges over the internet, and can’t participate in Proof-of-Coverage.
How much does this miner earn?
Compared to other cryptocurrencies there isn't a constant amount of HNT earned per day by the units due to the variations on a setup to setup basis.

Hotspot Management
Hotspot on boarding
First location assert
**Any change of location after are covered by the user at a cost of USD / 1,000,000 DC.
Hotspot Management
The Nebra hotspot miners come with two options for managing your hotspot remotely.
You can sign up for the
hotspot management platform here
.
Basic (free)
This includes built in auto-update functionality (via an auto updater-script) for the life of the device at no extra charge.
Advanced (paid)
The advanced plan includes a management dashboard allowing you to remotely manage your fleet of miners, check device stats, hotspot performance and more. This is a paid service but you get 6 months free with the device purchase. This may not be available from when we first ship but everyone who purchases before we launch the management platform will get at least 6 months free once the management platform is available.

Indoor vs Outdoor Miner
The biggest difference is the outdoor unit comes in a case which is suitable to be used outside in mixed environments and has a few extra features. To help you decide we've created this handy guide.
Why earn HNT & use Helium?
Millions of compatible devices can use The People's Network and each device requires Data Credits (DC) in order to send data to the Internet. Fixed in value, DC are created by 'burning' HNT, reducing the total supply to achieve a Burn and Mint Equilibrium. The more devices using DC, the more HNT will be burned.
Helium’s wireless network based on LoRaWAN is best suited for low-power scenarios like sending data to and from sensors using low-cost radio waves, eliminating reliance on more costly networks like cellular and WiFi. It’s fully peer to peer and leverages a robust network of hotspots connected to the network. With just 100 to 200 hotspots, the network can usually cover most cities. In return for hosting hotspots, hosts can earn $HNT for providing access to the LongFi network.
How are Tokens Earned?
Hotspots earn HNT for building and securing network infrastructure and transferring device data. The amount of HNT distributed to Hotspots depends on the type of “work” they perform based on the value to the network. This validation of network contribution is accomplished by a new work algorithm called Proof-of-Coverage (PoC).
To participate in PoC there must be multiple Hotspots at least 300 meters apart in an area, but still within range of each other (up to many miles depending on environment). Single Hotspots earn less as they can only issue Challenges over the internet, and can’t participate in Proof-of-Coverage. After the first year, distribution amounts adjust.
How do I change HNT to normal currency or vice versa?
We recommend using
Binance.us
which allows HNT/USD trades or you can use
Binance.com
to exchange HNT into Bitcoin and then from Bitcoin into GBP, EUR or other currencies. However other exchanges are also available.
Are there any fees when setting up my Nebra Hotspot?
When setting up any Helium Hotspot Miner there is a activation fee and a fee when setting the hotspot's location.
As part of your purchase price we cover the activation fee and the first location assert fee of (worth in total).
However every time you move your hotspot to a new location you will need to pay the location assert fee again.
