About Us
What is signal?
Signal uses a Helium HotSpot which is a peer-to-peer wireless network that allows lower loT devices ( nonstandard computing devices that connect wirelessly to a network and have the ability to transmit data) to send data to and from the internet. Each hotspot can cover up to 10 square miles, so the more people who invest in hosting hotspots, the bigger the network becomes, allowing you to make more money. It works by connecting the Helium to your Wi-Fi and putting it in your window so the devices can pull in data from Helium's IoT sensors over its open-source LongFi protocol. The data that the Helium collects is from small things such as street lights. When the streetlight turns on it connects to a network (the hotspot) that allows the company to know if the light is properly working. By hosting a hotspot you get royalties that can vary anywhere from $60-$120 each month.
How to host a hotspot
On the top of the website you should see something that says host a hotspot, click on this and it should bring you to a form to fill out. Once you fill out this form, I will review your form and see if you qualify to host the hotspot. I will email you when I am done reviewing your form, and let you know if you have qualified to host.

How much does it cost?
Signal is completely free of charges, but why? Signal is free because you are letting us use a small space in your home.
