Proof of Coverage (PoC)
The Panther X2 Hotspot obtains the digital token HNT when the device is
connected to the Helium mainnet and is used to verify the wireless coverage
provided by the peer. Using a proof of coverage mechanism, Panther X2
Hotspots can obtain more HNT when Panther X2 Hotspots are within the
coverage range of other Panther X2 Hotspots.
The coverage depends on the use environment:
l
Open area: 10 kilometers or more.
l
Built-up areas: 1~10 kilometers.
A single hotspot obtains fewer HNT because it can only issue challenges
through the Internet and not participate in the proof of coverage mechanism.
