Thanks to its global LPWA (Low Speed, Long Range) network and its ecosystem of expert partners, Sigfox provides turnkey, bidirectional and secure communication services to reveal the true potential of the Internet of Things (IoT).

Sigfox defines a standardized way of collecting data from sensors and objects with a single, standardized set of application programming interfaces (APIs).

Sigfox's innovative technology complements the traditional cellular “machine-to-machine” thanks to the implementation of global solutions and offering long energy autonomy at the lowest cost.

Sigfox uses 192 KHz of the unlicensed ISM band to exchange messages over the air. The emission technique is what is called the ultra-narrow band (UNB - Ultra Narrow Band). The band used in Europe (ETSI nomes) is between 868 and 868.2 MHz.
This frequency band allows only small messages: 12 bytes per upstream message (Uplink) and 8 bytes per downlink message (Down Link).

In France, nearly 1,500 branches provide 94% coverage of the French population.
