In part 2 of our Helium series\, the WCA has a panel of industry leaders to discuss how to optimize the deployment of Helium LoRaWAN gateways. \n We’ll cover topics such as: \n ● Antenna gain does matter – the physics and theory of antenna types.\n \n ● A manufacturer’s insight into building a Helium Miner – what makes for a good LoraWAN radio?\n \n ● Deploying Helium in rural areas: No power or internet – No problem! \n \n ● Why is the Helium network ideal for IoT?\n \n ● How does IoT contribute to my HNT earnings? \n If you already own a Helium hotspot or thinking about joining the network\, \njoin us to hear from our panel of experts to discuss this global movement!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nModerator and Panelists Bio:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nModerator – Andy Do\n \n President at Embedded Works / SensorWorks\n \n \n \n \n Andy Do is the Founder and President of Embedded Works\, a wireless technology distributor since 2004\, now turned IoT solutions integrator.
