Network of tomorrow

Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the inter-networks of objects that communicate with other objects or computers through a network. These “Things” may include virtually any objects embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity to collect and exchange data, communicate or control objects remotely. In other words, IoT potentially includes a large number of interconnected objects that connect the physical world to the virtual world, resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit.

Previously, these connected devices rely heavily on Cellular, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth network. Those technologies are expensive to adopt and maintain, not to mention high in power consumption. As our requirement for these objects expands, we need new technologies that are power efficient, low cost and simple to deploy at a massive scale. We need to connect these devices with a low-power wide-area network, that is Sigfox.

Rise of LPWAN

The rapid growing popularity of the internet of things has led to the rise of LPWAN. LPWAN is a technology designed to be low power, low cost and wide range. The perfect fit for IoT. As the internet of things revolution takes place, more and more wireless devices are deployed rapidly around the world in large volumes. With LPWAN, these devices are given life through connectivity that complement their needs in the form of low power, low cost and wide range for high volume and full autonomy. As such, 4 billion IoT devices have been forecasted to rely on LPWAN technologies by 2025!
