Hotspots earn Helium tokens for building and securing network infrastructure and transferring device data. The amount of tokens 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). PoC was designed to bootstrap Helium Network coverage. Over time rewards will shift to be more heavily allocated to data transfer with less going to PoC as the Network matures.

Helping obtain more beacons and witnesses,LoRa amplifier is a powerful tool for optimizing the performance of LoRaWAN network signal, such as the Helium network, by improving reception sensitivity and ensuring that data can be transmitted reliably over longer distances or through difficult environments.
