Summary

This proposal aims to reduce the cost of onboarding data-only hotspots to the Helium network and to provide one free location assertion every 30 epochs. This initiative is designed to lower the barriers to entry for deploying low-cost IoT solutions using off-the-shelf LoRaWAN gateways and enhance the network's coverage and data accuracy through more frequent location updates.
