Frequencies on the Helium Network

Helium's LoRaWAN Network is built upon 8-channel gateways. This page will help you confirm the appropriate frequencies for gateway configuration for each country.

Feel free to refer to our packet forwarder configuration examples.

warning

LoRa gateways on the Helium Network must transmit on uplink frequencies (e.g., for Proof-of-Coverage participation). Some gateways limit their transmit range to downlink frequencies; special configuration may be necessary.

Uplink refers to sensor-to-network communication, and downlink refers to network-to-sensor communications.

Frequency Plans​

Each frequency/channel supports multiple spreading factors. Lower spreading factors correspond to higher data rates, but shorter transmission ranges and less receiver sensitivity.
