Sigfox has partnered with Google Cloud to scale its cloud infrastructure and extend its IoT services portfolio.
This partnership will enable Sigfox to rapidly accelerate its 'Massive IoT' agenda—processing billions of messages each month from objects connected to the internet using data stored in the cloud.
Sigfox is the world’s largest dedicated LWAN service provider for connecting simple, low-powered, low-cost IoT devices to the Internet.
Google Cloud was chosen as the backbone for Sigfox’s 0G network to bring better scale, increased reliability, and best-of-breed compliance and security to Sigfox’s platform. Google Cloud will also enable faster improvements to Sigfox’s connectivity, geolocation, and other value-added services towards ultra-low-cost and ultra-low-power IoT solutions.
Sigfox’s shift to the cloud will transform many of the applications across the range of industries in which it operates, including supply chain and logistics, automotive, postal services and utilities. This includes the Sigfox auto parts solution, which tracks components on their journeys between assembly plants and suppliers with sensor-equipped containers.
Franck Siegel, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Sigfox
