Created in 2010 the company is a recognized global pioneer and leader in a sector that is already disrupting business models and will revolutionize the whole of society. The ambition of Sigfox, embodied in the slogan "make Things Come Alive", is to give a voice to the physical world around us and to allow these billions of objects to play a role in economic and social development.

* Planetary network - Sigfox delivers the network and the protocols required to allow an object to share its data from anywhere in the world.

* Going beyond battery - Sigfox enables sensors to function without the need for batteries, which will remove the need for maintenance. Today, multiples sources of energy in the physical world can enable energy-harvesting, including solar, wind and electromagnetic waves. The simplicity of our technology means that we can provide the best possible user experience and lowest maintenance costs, and one day remove the need for batteries for many use cases.

* Reduce the silicon - The cost and complexity of the required silicon to connect objects need to be dramatically reduced. The simplicity in our technology enables this. Today, a SIM card module often costs up to $40, but a module on our network can cost as little as a few dollars – at this cost, you can economically connect virtually anything.
