In this article, you will find the list of useful links to best accompany you on your journey to the world of Helium.
Buy a Hotspot
How to place your Hostpot or Miner
- https://helium.place/ : displays the map with the hexagons to manage the hotspot density (don't forget, 300m minimum).
- https://explorer.helium.com/ : the classic map to see the hotposts currently deployed on the network.
- https://mappers.helium.com/ : displays the current hostpots coverage map (when known).
- https://explorer.helium.com/coverage : displays the position of the hostpots with their up / down status and details.
Estimate coverage areas, POC
- https://link.ui.com/ : allows you to calculate the distance between two points, to see the topography of the land. Quite complete and easy to use.
- https://www.heywhatsthat.com/ : used to identify the topography of the land from a given point. Quite close to the RF coverage at 868MHz therefore, to reality.
- https://www.ve2dbe.com/ : allows you to perform a complete radio simulation by specifying the antenna gain. To be configured according to frequency, power… Very complete but not easy to learn. Registration required.
Analyze Hotspot Revenue
- https://www.sitebot.com/ : full history of income and modification by Hotspots. Statistics by country / city or owners.
- https://www.minertax.com/ : calculation of income month by month (over the past year).
- https://www.binance.com/ : HNT price, sale of HNT.
- https://coinmarketcap.com/ : HNT price in €.
- https://www.hnt-rewards-data.fr/ : Analysis of hotspots revenues in France according to their witness numbers (connections). Thanks to strangeoctopus for the tool!
Hotspot data analysis
- https://helium.hiker.rocks/ : displays income by date and an analysis of PoCs including disability.
- https://etl.dewi.org/public/dashboard/: global statistics on rewards, DC usage, hotspots, transactions, HNT mined… goes further than exploring it.
Tools
- http://status.helium.com/ : incidents on the Helium chain.
- https://www.timesmicrowave.com/ : calculation of the gain loss, dB according to the length of your cable.
- http://poe-world.com/Calculator/ : calculation of the voltage part via PoE (Power over Ethernet) according to the type and size of your Ethernet cable.
