Actility and Helium Announce Roaming Partnership to Drive Enterprise Adoption Globally

We are extremely excited to announce Actility as the latest roaming partner on the Helium Network! This partnership will add mass adoption and usage to the Network, immediately unlocking ubiquitous coverage for millions of IoT devices.

Like Helium, Actility is recognized as the leader in IoT connectivity solutions and LPWA technology. Actility's ThingsPark Exchange remains the industry's first and de facto standard LoRaWAN IoT peering hub. Through this integration with ThingPark Exchange, Actility will be able to immediately extend Helium Network coverage to 25 already connected networks worldwide, including Actility-powered public LoRaWAN networks managed by Orange in France, KPN in the Netherlands, Proximus in Belgium, and Swisscom in Switzerland.

“The growth of the Helium Network has been explosive. By creating a roaming integration with the Helium Network, we are now able to offer any LoRaWAN network, public or private, access to this coverage, enabling them to deploy applications in more markets faster with low cost and less hassle, while also bringing more users to Hotspot owners to maximize their rewards.” —Alper Yegin, Actility's VP of Advanced Technology Development

Major Partners = Major Data Transfer

By partnering with Actility, all IoT devices connected to ThingsPark Exchange can now roam between Helium-compatible Hotspots and the networks from other providers joining the peering platform. For Hotspot owners, this means major data transfer from major partners, increasing usage and $HNT rewards through the number of large-scale enterprise deployments already supported by Actility.

These deployments range from IoT applications for smart cities, energy and utilities, logistics and supply chain, precision agriculture, and contact tracing for COVID-19, by various companies such as Cisco, Volvo, Veolia, Schneider Electric, Accenture, Olympus, and more. Notably, Bouygues Construction Group tracks over 20,000 pieces of equipment in real-time using Helium-compatible Abeeway sensors from Actility, which Volvo Group also uses to optimize their yard management in its France and U.S. truck plants.

Roam with Helium

This cutting-edge roaming partnership with Actility would not be possible without the incredible community helping to build the Helium Network. Together as #ThePeoplesNetwork we are extending connectivity to a whole new world of devices and applications from Actility customers, adding to existing use cases enabled by Helium.
