FreedomFi Indoor Small Cell and Gateway can do 220 Mbps downlink and 12 Mbps uplink and should be plugged into a wired Ethernet internet connection capable of these speeds. Any installation at a location with lower throughput will effect the performance and mining capability of the small cell.

No. While FreedomFi Small Cells have a maximum downlink throughput of 220Mbps, most cellular radios spend the majority of their time carrying 30% of their peak throughput or less. If you have a decent Internet connection it will not swallow all of it. You will also have the ability to set the ceiling data throughput that you dedicate to the data offload.

You will need to connect FreedomFi gateway to the Internet using an ethernet cable.

Yes. FreedomFi Gateways will double as a regular Helium Hotspot so standard Helium rules of “keep’em 350 meters apart or sacrifice rewards” will apply. If you already have a Helium miner at a location that is potentially excellent for cellular data offload, we recommend moving it.

Coverage for CBRS radios is much shorter range than LoRa. Ballpark, indoor CBRS radios will have ~3x coverage of an enterprise Wi-Fi access point. Outdoor radios with sector antennas will go ~5-7 miles in line-of-sight conditions. In no-light-of-sight (NLOS) conditions, coverage will be reduced dramatically because CBRS frequency band is 3.5-3.7Ghz and doesn’t go through walls or trees very well.

FreedomFi recommends that port forwarding be turned on for port 44158 in their router. Please visit portforward.com for forwarding instructions.

Following the initial onboarding process it may take up to 24-96 hours for the FreedomFi Gateway to sync with the Helium blockchain before it starts earning any HNT. After 96 hours, please verify your Gateway has synced via the Helium app.

Please note: The blue light (LTE) on any Small Cell could take up to 24 hours to turn on.

The equipment came with a eSIM card that you can install in your cellular device to use your network. Only cellular devices that use data plans from Helium 5G roaming partners such as GigSky will be able to connect.

No. Please order your FreedomFi Gateway from CalChip and have it unboxed for your installation appointment.
