We’re excited to announce the release of Helium Console under the Apache 2.0 license. Console joins a growing list of Helium open source projects including blockchain core, the wallet, the blockchain explorer, the Helium app and others

To host your own version of Console, the github repository is here and documentation can be found here.

The team also added support for Asian countries, as well as adding another prebuilt integration with leading IoT platform Datacake.
