• APNIC Blog: Measuring a decentralized network

Deploying large-scale wireless infrastructure is challenging. Cellular service providers invest a huge amount of resources to deploy millions of base stations, providing ubiquitous coverage for users across many regions. One reason why this works — good service is provided for a cost, which users are willing to pay for.
Deployment of such infrastructure that supports Internet of Things (IoT) networks is slow, and this process often needs to be repeated with the onset of newer generations of wireless protocols.

The Helium Network — an exponentially growing IoT network — employs a different strategy; have users deploy base stations instead. The incentive behind this? Helium’s cryptocurrency, a Helium Network Token (HNT).
