Frequently Asked Questions

All sales are final and not returnable after your FreedomFi Gateway has been onboarded to the Helium blockchain. Make sure to read the FAQ below thoroughly to understand what you are getting.

Out of the box, the FreedomFi Gateway alone does not provide 5G cellular coverage. To add 5G cellular support to your FreedomFi Gateway, purchase a certified plug-and-play Powered by FreedomFi CBRS small cell, connect it to the gateway and follow the onboarding steps to get it registered on the network, operational and earning MOBILE tokens for providing network coverage.

No. FreedomFi Gateway will only work with certified CBRS radios. Cellular radios come in many flavors and have a million knobs and settings. The only way for us to ensure consistent operation and security across all deployments is to only allow pre-certified radios with verified firmware presets. If you are interested in experimenting with CBRS, we encourage you to purchase a non-Helium compatible FreedomFi gateway and a CBRS bring-up session and we’ll walk you through setting up your own radio for your own network.

No, the FreedomFi Gateway mines the same amount of HNT as any other Helium hotspot with the same placement and antenna. When connected to a Powered by FreedomFi certified CBRS small cell, the FreedomFi Gateway will earn MOBILE tokens as well as mining HNT by providing LoRa network connectivity.

You can only deploy FreedomFi Gateway outdoors in an IP rated enclosure, like this one or similar. FreedomFi Gateways have a ruggedized, industrial grade casing that can operate in +14 to +122 F temperature range, but cannot be directly exposed to rain.

FreedomFi Gateway is guaranteed to ship within 14 days following the completion of the order.

Due to the global semiconductor shortage our cost of parts has doubled since the beginning of the year. We were faced with the problem of either significantly delaying delivery into the next year or paying extra to all the suppliers to get the gateways built ASAP. We chose the latter.

At FreedomFi we want to stay 100% focused on solving technology problems required to make Helium 5G a reality. We are not good at stocking and shipping thousands of boxes and managing warehouse personnel. For that reason, we’ve partnered with CalChip Connect to help us process and fulfill the orders.

While the charge on your credit card and the shipment origin address may come from CalChip, we, at FreedomFi, will stand behind every order and will remain responsible for timely shipment and support.

Attempts to modify, tamper with, or replace any software on the FreedomFi Gateway voids the warranty. FreedomFi will not be able to resolve any problems arising from such activities.

We are currently working with a number of cellular radio manufacturers on certifying their products to be plug-and-play compatible with FreedomFi Gateways. The first indoor CBRS radio is available as part of the cellular bundle. We expect a variety of additional models (including outdoor versions) to become available over the next 12 months. You can subscribe to our mailing list to stay up to date on various radio models as they become available. .

No. FreedomFi Gateways are certified to work only in the US. We expect to start producing models for other countries once we introduce compatibility with Wi-Fi Access Points in Q1 2022.

The only way to connect FreedomFi 5G Gateway to the Internet is by plugging in an ethernet cable to the WAN port of the gateway. Unlike some other Helium hotspots, FreedomFi 5G Gateways do not come with Wi-Fi built-in.

Yes. HIP 17 rules apply to FreedomFi Gateways the same way they do to any other Helium Hotspot. If you place multiple hotspots within 300 feets of each other, it will negatively affect your mining rewards.

No. Our priority is to make sure that everybody with a reservation ID will get one FreedomFi Gateway as soon as possible and due to limited supply we are only able to provide one FreedomFi Gateway per reservation. If you are interested in getting more than one, we encourage you to sign up for a waiting list on the CalChip website which will have additional stock available.

You will have 14 calendar days from the moment FreedomFi Gateway has been received to return the device, provided the device hasn’t been opened and onboarded to the Helium blockchain. To be eligible for a return your FreedomFi Gateway must be in the same condition you received it and could not have been previously used. If the device arrives defective or damaged, you have the right to request a refund or a replacement.

We will work the shipper to validate the loss and provide options for replacement/refund. The lost units will be deactivated.
