Earlier last year , helium community take the decision to move out from the helium legacy console (hosted on helium-iot.eu) for getting benefit of more mature and advanced opensource LoRaWan Network Servers (LNS) also named openLNS in the community.
Chirpstack is the favorite openLNS, heyIoT, decided to support. This is providing to helium user new features like support of Class B & C devices, support of ABP and a better long term support for the new LoRaWan features like repeaters and much more.
Since 2023 August 16th, the Chirpstack environment is open for registration and device migration. It already run 30000+ production devices and wait for your devices. Documentation and tutorial are available. The Helium Legacy console will still be available up to Dec 2024, but it will be decommissioned after this date. The following legacy console sunset phase are engaged: starting August 2024 the 1st, price will increase to $8 for 100k communication credits, from January 2025 the 1st purchasing new communication credits increased to $30 for 100k. End of January new purchase will be impossible and after Feb 2025 the 28th, environement will be halted ; device communication will be stopped.
