Elderflower Overview


The Elderflower is an outdoor antenna that is ideal for providing high speed coverage to a smaller outdoor area for a large number of users. Maximum Deployment range may be up to 5km. 

Flowers are antennas that wirelessly transfer data between your internet service provider and users of the Pollen network.

Bumblebee Overview

Bumblebees are best used at your home to validate your own Flower and to validate other network coverage while traveling in your car, on a bike, or on foot to map the network while you're on the go. Bumblebees earn PCN for validating the network.

Note: Bumblebees must upload their coverage on a daily basis in order to earn daily rewards. You must connect to a Flower by 4pm PST every day for a solid 5 minutes to ensure validation is transmitted.

About the Bundle

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Need Help? We've got you covered!

    What’s the best position for my Elderflower to maximize range? 

    The Elderflower is an outdoor Flower. We recommend mounting it outdoors or placing it on a pole.

    Are there any materials that will interfere with the signal?

    A mesh screen on your window will interfere with the signal. Additionally, foliage can interfere. The best placement is a high up location that is generally unobstructed.

    How do I receive rewards?

    Your Flower receives rewards when it is "seen" by Bumblebees and Honeybees (we call this Proof of Coverage). To receive rewards for your Flower, you will need to have linked your Solana wallet address to the NFT that is etched onto the top of the Flower. This needs to be done prior to delivery. 

    We recommend the following wallets: Phantom, SolFlare, and Slope.

    How do I link my Flower to my Solana wallet?

    After you place your order, you'll get an email with a link to a Registration Form. Fill that out by providing your Order # and Solana wallet.

    Remember: you need to do this prior to delivery as hardware will not ship without an associated account.

    If no Bumblebee or Honeybee connects to my Flower, will my Flower still earn anything?

    The Flower needs to have connections to earn PCN each day. Every Bee-Hex connection (subject to limits to prevent gaming) earns credits that are used to determine how much PCN are earned from that day's Incentive Payments pool. 

    I need help setting up my Elderflower, who do I contact?

    What's the best way to use my Bumblebee?

    The job of the Bumblebee is to ping Flowers and validate the network coverage, so the best way to use your Bumblebee is to put in your car, bicycle, drone, or some other moving device and go for a tour of your surrounding area. 

    What kind of power supply would work for a Bumblebee

    We’ve been testing with a few different powerbanks and have good success with this one from Anker

    What information is being sent to the pollen network from the Bumblebee?

    Bumblebees report data back to the Pollen network to help us build a reliable map of coverage information. Data reported by Bumblebees includes date / time, GPS location, and network traffic statistics (e.g., ping times, upload / download speeds, signal strength) in addition to their own unique identifier and the unique identifiers of Flowers for which coverage is verified. 

    How long does it take to attach to a Flower?

    It can take up to one minute to attach to a Pollen tower. This means that it's possible for you to drive by a tower and not attach to it. When the network becomes more dense, you will stay more connected as there will be handoffs from one tower to the next. 

    Why is the GPS light red?

    When you have a red GPS light, this means that your Bumblebee has a GPS fix but has not synchronized its system clock to the GPS clock yet. You can wait 5 minutes, or reboot your Bumblebee to start the process over again. We're working on improvements to make this much faster.



    What is the difference between a Bumblebee and a Honeybee?

    Bumblebees are external hardware devices that validate the Pollen network. Honeybees are SIM based and must be installed on a band 48 compatible mobile device, and they can also be used to validate the Pollen network.
