How to develop an IoT device running on Sigfox?
For developers, engineers, or hobbyists, Sigfox is one of the easiest types of connectivity to start with. We designed the protocol in such a way that it only takes a few lines of codes to start sending Sigfox messages. Through the Sigfox Cloud, you can connect all your projects to the Internet in a few minutes.
Sigfox offers a central hub for all IoT device makers and solution providers. On build.sigfox.com IoT developers can find up-to-date guidelines, reusable designs, technical advice and access to tools and services. Sigfox Build is also the place where to file a certification request for a Sigfox Ready device.
Sigfox offers a solution to develop your Sigfox device everywhere thanks to the Sigfox network emulator software. By emulating the Sigfox radio network and Cloud main functionalities (callbacks), it facilitates the development of IoT applications, from the connected device itself to the application that processes the data transmitted by the device. It is the easiest way for device and solution makers to speed up development and tests. It works without any network coverage, and works for all Sigfox radio configurations (RC). The Sigfox network emulator runs on the Sigfox SDR Dongle hardware platform, a powerful and configurable radio Receiver and Transmitter emulating a Sigfox access point.
It is mandatory for any device communicating on the Sigfox network to be Sigfox Ready certified:
- To ensure that your devices integrate Sigfox connectivity with adequate performance levels,
- To maintain a high Quality of Service on the Sigfox network through the conformity of each device to the Sigfox radio specifications (conducted and radiated)
Sigfox offers cost-effective geolocation service
In addition to its connectivity service, Sigfox offers a low energy and low-price location service for all devices equipped with the simplest Sigfox-Verified module, without GPS. There’s no need to retrofit to upgrade specific hardware, or to update software.
Sigfox can now provide a location for all existing and future devices in all areas where the network is deployed. Sigfox Atlas is suitable for use cases where metric precision isn’t needed. For example, to track moving items through complex supply chains.
