It does not consume as much bandwidth as WiFi as the amount of information transferred in individual transmissions is low.
HELIUM LONGFI BLUETOOTH
LongFi massively exceeds conventional WiFi and Bluetooth in range and low energy consumption. Directional antennas with good line of sight can increase the range of WiFi to several kilometers.
Long-range WiFi is the use of directional antennas to set-up long distance point-to-point WiFi connections and wireless bridges. LongFi is not an 802.11 protocol and is completely distinct from WiFi. LongFi is designed to handle sensor based data like environmental data, the location or position of objects, or telemetry data from machines or devices. LongFi can therefore be used to enable compatible devices to transfer data to the Helium network and for the coverage provided by hotspots to be validated. Authentication, security and remuneration for network services is provided by the Helium blockchain making LongFi essentially a combination of a LorRaWAN and Helium blockchain.
In particular, LongFi networking enables large numbers of IoT devices to connect to individual hotspots or gateways and for hotspots to interact with each other. The LongFi brand differentiates itself from the LoRaWAN foundation on which Helium networking is based. LongFi is a proprietary name for the wireless networking protocol used by The Helium in its deployment of a decentralized peer-to-peer network for the Internet of Things (IoT).
