It has been said before: less is more. SIGFOX demonstrates that truism with our network for the Internet of Things. A very big majority of those things will send and receive only small messages, e.g. position, orientation, temperature, inventory data, movement and battery status.
Our global network is dedicated to providing long-range, low-throughput, cost-effective and energy-efficient connectivity that is perfectly suited for such two-way communication. It therefore eliminates the cost and energy-use barriers to wide adoption of the IoT and greatly extends the battery and service life of connected devices.
Our network is established in France, Spain, the Netherlands and the U.K., and several European cities through the SIGFOX Network Operator program. We expect to roll it out soon in several more European countries and in North America and Asia Pacific, and go worldwide following that.
In addition to partnering with network operators, we work with device manufacturers and IoT solutions providers worldwide through the SIGFOX ReadyTM Program to facilitate the adoption of the IoT.
