Helium Hotspot Miner - Batch 1 Available for Pre-order. Ships June 2022
-
Hello, I write from Spain.
I want to buy some hotspots but I need to know the final price in Spain. What is the "HS Code" of this product to know what fees are going to be applied to the import?
If my sister (who lives in London) buys them, what is the final price with taxes there?
Thank you very much -
@Bettina I believe it's best to go live with the discord channel way before the shipping starts so people can address questions.
Also, can you please explain exactly how the add-on poe module is installed ? maybe a video turorial or something? I want to prepare my setups in advance and I have never used this module so I want to know if I should go with this or do my own poe injector & splitter setup. -
@Bettina can you please explain a bit more about the poe shield? does the device needs this in order to receive poe directly in without the need of a splitter while it still requires an injector, is that what it's for? or can this device be used with the regulat 0.5a 48v poe injectors & splitters already available on the market?
I cannot stress enough the need for a discord server again ....

@Nic-Lalanne Sorry, no we don't have that yet. We do have IP67 cases but they are not custom made for the Hotspot.

@Francisco-Juan-de-Santos-Iglesias You will most likely be asked to pay VAT when the hotspots enter Spain, coming from the UK. So you'll need to apply the VAT percentage on electronics (and observe if there are any for import duty (which would then be in addition)).

@Lucian-Pavaloi We're looking into going live soon.

@Lucian-Pavaloi The PoE module adds Ethernet + PoE to the Pycom Helium Hotspot. It supports both active and passive PoE. It doesn't require a splitter but it requires an injector or PoE enabled networking switch.

@Martin-Flauger The antenna has RP-SMA male connector. It is provided an RP-SMA female to UFL cable, to attach in the UFL connector in Pygate.
The hotspot could connect to internet via WiFi or via the Ethernet port. Also the Ethernet port has POE capabilities, so the whole unit can be powered. This is good for when installing a hotspot in a rooftop of a building for two reasons, 1-probably in the rooftop you won't have wifi signals, specially if your appartment is not in the last floor, 2-you won;t need to carry cables with power supply and also the antenna cable to bring the signal from your antenna to your hotspot (long cables add extra losses). So, it is will always better to keep the device as close as possible to the antenna, and a POE/internet is great for it, so you will need only a single cable to power your device, and don't need to worry for cable losses, neither for connectivity in the rooftop

@Bettina Can I buy the PoE module later and install it by myself ?
-
@Nic-Lalanne Hi Nic, No, not at the moment.
-
@Martin-Flauger Yes you should be able to. However, please note that at the moment, our OEM modules are reserved for Hotspots shipping and therefore, they may not be in stock.

@Bettina Hello , it may be a silly question but how many watts must be the PoE injector 15W or I will need more ? Thank you !

@Bettina can you please create the discord channel faster to improve the communication? I think many people are missing out on this simply because they don't want to wait to get answers via forum anymore. Discord is so much faster. Also, the shipping date of the 1st batch is coming close so I think people have many questions to ask and this is ideal for a discord channel.
I don't understand why it's taking so long. -
Hello @Bettina,
I am wondering if I have to pay some extra taxes on import myself? I am from Germany if this helps.
Thanks

@Bettina just wondering if we are still on target to be shipping batch 1 of the miners in june
-
it's already early june. have you guys started shipping out the first batch of helium hotspots ??? @pycomIOT
-
@Bettina when will that happen?
-
I guess there are multiple people asking the same question. It would be great if you can update us with the shipping dates for batch 1 miners since early June is already over and we never heard anything from you
