Review on Sigfox by George Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything needed to connect IoT and M2M with excellent reliability

Easy integration into existing systems, easy deployment using standardised APIs (SigFox), reliable system overall despite some issues that still need attention for long distance communication over Europe or even across continents such as Latin America. You really have everything you want from an IOT provider when it comes down selecting one! It is not very clear how much data they actually collect/store about their customers but this should be made more transparent - maybe there are additional costs involved which aren't shown upfront? As mentioned above please ensure your local authority has access rights before signing up too many users so don’t lose them if required later through legal proceedings etc., We use sigfofe at my current job solely within Germany since its main market focus lies here however; once fully deployed throughout France then other countries could follow suit easily enough due geographical positioning / ease-to-deployment factor alone Easy programming, easy installation, good integration into existing systems (eg SAP). Good performance for small data volumes - about 10-15 kB per message. Currently there are no other options out there that provide this kind of flexibility/low cost entry point but maybe one day? I use it primarily as an API gateway between my devices which is then connected via various platforms such as Azure or AWS Lambdas etc.
