Our goal is to provide the best services to our customers, and Sigfox’s technology gives us the right tool to do that. Sigfox technology uses radio signals to transmit very small amounts of data, for example a few bytes, and this is the data amount that many IoT solutions require. The advantage of Sigfox’s technology is that it requires very little energy and the sensors can run on batteries for a very long time, up to 10 years.
