Randall has a couple new and exciting products from Sigfox and Schmartboard this time on New Product Discoveries.

Getting Started with the SDR Dongle

The SDR dongle is the tool you need for testing a prototype when out of coverage or in a country without a Sigfox Network.

Sens’it Discovery is an IoT end-to-end solution provided by Sigfox. It combines the Sens’it device connected to Sigfox network with an application.

How To Design an antenna for an IoT device placed on a metal surface

The diagram shows a rough illustration of the link budget in ETSI-like regions. In an ideal situation, the device radiates up to 14 dBm. At the base station, the antenna gain is 5dBi and the receiver sensitivity is -142 dBm.

SIGFOX is the world’s leading provider of dedicated connectivity for the Internet of Things. SIGFOX provides a two-way communication service through a global radio network.

Driven by simplicity Sigfox unlocks the power of the IoT and give life to the physical world Sigfox - The World's largest network coverage for the Internet of Things (IoT).

The company’s network complements existing high-bandwidth systems by providing simple, economical, energy-efficient two-way transmission of small quantities of data over long distances.

Learn all of the essential facts about Sigfox

The SIGFOX protocol stack is tailored for high-energy constraint of IoT applications.

The volume of data an object can send in each message through the SIGFOX network is twelve bytes. But objects are not as chatty as people.

SIGFOX has built its simplicity deep in objects & network architecture. The star topology of the SIGFOX global network is really simple.

Sigfox uses DBPSK modulation for uplink transmissions of radio messages. The bitrate depends on the operation region: either 100 bps or 600 bps. DBPSK modulation enables to take only 1 Hertz of the operation band to transmit at 1 bit per second.
