Using Magma and Helium Blockchain to Build The World’s First People’s Neutral Host Network
summary
Combines Magma core with the Helium blockchain to run a FreedomFi gateway that bundles a hardened Magma AGW, a Helium miner/hotspot and a LoRa radio; network already shows ~18,000 hotspots across ~3,000 cities and targets 150,000 by end of 2021. Uses Helium’s proof of coverage and HNT rewards, implements state channels for session accounting, and ties the miner to operator OCS via diameter/HTTP for LTE/CBRS offload. Prototype gateway and miner run now, OCS integration and April pilots are scheduled. Helium blockchain CBRS LTE offload
