"This device had to work even in the summer on a window in say Phoenix, Ariz. "We built the FinestraMiner with a fanless design from the get-go," said Serdar Serttop, co-founder and CTO, Mimiq.
While integrated within a contemporary consumer-friendly design, the FinestraMiner incorporates unique engineering, including the capability to operate flawlessly without a fan, ensuring continuous mining capability.
We believe it starts a new phase in our growth as we continue to add new Mimiq products in 2022 that will not only be part of the Helium ecosystem but work more uniquely and intelligently with our gateways." Now, with the FinestraMiner gateway, we have extended our commitment to the LoRaWAN standard, the People's Network by Helium and our distribution and E-Commerce partner CalChip. Consumer products are in our DNA, beginning with the Mimiq GO (previously Mimic GO) that connected via LoRaWAN to the cloud. "Mimiq recognized the disruptive nature of Helium's People's Network early on and we wanted to help the network grow through our Mimiq mainstream devices. "This is the only gateway and miner designed first with the consumer in mind," said Noyan Berker, CEO and co-founder, Mimiq. FinestraMiner incorporates Semtech Corp chips designed for LoRa-based wireless communications and devices. The crypto mining capability is delivered via the Helium Network. The device connects with LoRaWAN-equipped devices in its coverage area, and in turn connects to the in-premises broadband router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet to provide cloud connectivity.
With its unique window-mount design, the FinestraMiner is also referred to as the 'miner with a view.' The device uses an advanced reusable adhesive surface that allows it to be placed and moved around from window mount to wall mount to a shelf – in search of the best coverage location – without leaving glue patches or messy holes in drywall. Fast and simple to set up, Finestra enables anyone to mine Helium Network Tokens (HNT) and easily participate in Helium's People's Network. It has designed the miner to address consumer ease-of-use needs while ensuring seamless end-to-end connectivity between all its devices, from small IoT products to the LoRaWAN gateway within the miner. With the new device Mimiq is expanding its consumer product family and underscoring its commitment to mainstream customers and business owners. The FinestraMiner builds on the groundbreaking legacy of Mimic GO, the first consumer device using the LoRaWAN network. It will be available to the market in Q4, 2021. The sleek, easy-to-use, consumer-friendly cryptocurrency miner and IoT gateway installs in seconds – either directly on a windowpane or shelf-top – providing optimum coverage and performance from indoors, avoiding the risks of exterior installation. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Mimiq Inc. (formerly Smart Mimic), a connected consumer device company, today launched the FinestraMiner, the first community and FCC-certified Helium hotspot designed from the ground up for the mainstream consumer. The startup raised $111 million in August in a funding round led by a16z, with participation from 10T, Ribbit Capital, Alameda Research and Multicoin Capital.SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Helium is a San Francisco-based startup that aims to build a decentralized, peer-to-peer internet network. “This first-of-its-kind partnership between the Mayor’s Office, Helium, and CETF represents one of many innovative public-private partnership models that we’re advancing to bridge the digital divide for residents,” said San José Mayor Sam Liccardo in a statement.
The collaborators expect the plan to help over 1,300 low-income San José residents over one year. The CETF will then hold on to the mined HNT and convert the tokens into prepaid cash cards so low-income residents can pay for low-cost internet expenses.
HELIUM MINER INSTALL
The CETF will purchase 20 Helium miners, which the Mayor’s office will install in volunteer locations. The San José Mayor's Office, the California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) and Helium have partnered to install Helium miners throughout San José. The city of San José has announced an experimental plan on Wednesday that involves mining Helium ($HNT) tokens to pay for low-income residents’ internet access.
