SIGFOX collaborates with Microsoft to connect IoT devices
Currently operating in 14 countries, including the U.S., and registering over 7 million devices in its network, SIGFOX provides subscription-based low-power, wide-area (LPWA) communications for the Internet of Things.
SIGFOX’s cloud-to-cloud integration, which will be available to both SIGFOX and Microsoft customers, is based on Azure IoT Hub, which provides an easy and secure way to connect and control millions of devices. The collaboration allows users to utilize both SIGFOX’s low-power, wide-area network and the power of advanced analytics and storage on Microsoft Azure to collect, analyze and visualize large quantities of operational data produced by their connected devices and applications.
“Integration with Microsoft Azure IoT Hub in SIGFOX’s Cloud is a key step in the evolution of the IoT, providing customers with a great alternative to investing large amounts of resources to develop and manage data storage and management themselves,” said Stuart Lodge, SIGFOX executive vice president global sales and partners.”
“The rapid proliferation of connected devices can raise challenges in bringing together disparate data sources, handling the scale of the aggregate stream, and ensuring a variety of platforms and protocols work together harmoniously,” said Steve Guggenheimer, Microsoft corporate vice president of developer platform & evangelism and chief evangelist. “Our collaboration with SIGFOX enables Microsoft Azure IoT customers to more easily integrate devices connected to the SIGFOX network in their existing solutions.”
