Helium is an internet-of-things developer platform for building the network and transferring IoT device data. The platform builds the peer-to-peer wireless network to simplify connecting anything to the internet by rewarding anyone to become a network operator. It provides wireless coverage for low-power Internet of Things (IoT) devices and earns a new cryptocurrency, Helium, from your living room. Helium tokens by verifying network transactions, adding new blocks to the blockchain, and performing other tasks. The Proof-of-Coverage is a unique work algorithm that uses radio waves to validate that hotspots are providing legitimate wireless coverage.

Peloton Technology Inc., founded in 2011 and based in Menlo Park, California, develops advanced active safety systems aimed at enhancing the efficiency of trucking fleets. The company employs radar and Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) to establish vehicle-to-vehicle links between pairs of trucks. This technology allows for the coordination of acceleration and braking while keeping drivers fully engaged and in control of steering. By forming platoons, Peloton's system significantly reduces aerodynamic drag, resulting in fuel savings of over 7% during on-road testing for both the leading and trailing trucks. In addition to improving fuel efficiency, Peloton's solutions help mitigate collision-related expenses, addressing critical issues faced by the trucking industry.
