Hivemapper's Bee is an AI-enabled dashcam that mounts in a contributor's vehicle and passively captures street-level imagery while they drive, uploading it to the Hivemapper network without any change in driving habits. Each mapping event is recorded on Solana using state compression, which keeps the cost of millions of device transactions low. Bee Maps sells the Bee through a $19 per month Bee Membership that bundles the hardware, LTE connectivity and fleet software, replacing an upfront device cost of roughly $600. That suits drivers and fleet operators who want a connected device that earns HONEY rewards in the background. Hivemapper Bee owners should note that the device is built for one job, collecting map imagery, and its payouts depend on how under-covered the roads they drive are.

Helium Network runs a LoRaWAN network that lets low-power sensors, trackers and meters send small packets of data without a SIM card or cellular contract. Device operators pay by burning HNT-denominated Data Credits, and hotspot operators earn HNT for verified coverage and for handling that traffic, with the whole network running on Solana since the April 2023 migration approved under HIP 70. Teams deploying fleets of battery-powered sensors that only need to report readings occasionally will get the most from it. Helium's LoRaWAN layer is built for small, infrequent transmissions, so devices that need continuous or high-bandwidth connectivity are better served by cellular or by Helium's separate Wi-Fi mobile network.
