The Sigfox Technology Foundation
Sigfox consists of three essential elements: objects, base stations and the Sigfox cloud. First of all, the objects, also called ‘devices’, include sensors, etc. These objects send their data to a base station in France. Then, the base stations are local Sigfox antennas in France that receive the messages from the transmitting devices and transmit them to the Sigfox cloud. Finally, the Sigfox cloud is the central element of this network, where all the information is stored, and it is also where the data processing takes place, in France.
These elements, supported by innovative technologies such as signal modulation, define the power and efficiency of this dedicated IoT network in France. In addition, one of the primary advantages is the ability of the Sigfox network to receive data transmitted by sensors in France and relay it in turn.
Two-way communication
The network has the capacity to receive data sent by the sensors and relay it in turn. Moreover, this functionality is particularly useful for the remote configuration of sensors thanks to the different technologies used. It allows actions such as closing shutters, turning off the heating or activating a fan, all made possible by the advanced technologies of the network. Some sensor models can be configured remotely thanks to these technologies, and the Sigfox network stands out as one of the few IoT networks offering this type of process, using optimised technologies for remote sensor management.
