Helium Ethernet Starter Kit (Raspberry Pi)

The Helium Ethernet Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi provides everything needed to add secure, long-range IoT connectivity to a Raspberry Pi. The kit includes a Helium Atom Prototyping Module (a low-power, dual-band wireless module), a Helium Element Access Point for Ethernet backhaul, and a Raspberry Pi adapter HAT with an NRF24L01 port, Atom socket, and RGB status LED.

Helium Atom devices connect wirelessly to the nearest Element Access Point, which bridges data to cloud platforms via Helium Channels. Channels support public clouds (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud IoT Core) and generic protocols (HTTP, MQTT) for flexible integration. Each Element Access Point can support multiple Atom devices simultaneously.
