Anti-jamming capabilities due to UNB intrinsic ruggedness coupled with spatial diversity of the base stations
(+20dB)
HIGH RESILIENCE TO INTERFERERS
robust to operate in the public ism band
For the same technical reasons as above, UNB is extremely robust in an environment with other spread
spectrum signals. However, Spread spectrum networks are affected by UNB signals. Ultra Narrow Band is
therefore the best choice to operate on the public ISM band

22. Livestock
Management
CONFIDENTIAL 22
Improve efficiency and safety in farming
 Affordable
 Long battery life
 Gives a real-time visibility
on the livestock location
 Reduces the number of
diseases by accidents,
calving, thefts or attacks by
other animals
 Cut-off operating costs
Location system for livestock farms. It
offers location, monitoring and
traceability capabilities, detecting
anomalies due to temperature,
activity, behavior and calving.
Increases farm profitability by
detecting in calving periods; by
reducing production costs through a
losses cut-off and by improving
animals’ welfare through constant
monitoring.
It sends alerts (animal outside the
farm, abnormal activity, weather
alerts, etc.) to the farmers.

24. Waste
Management
CONFIDENTIAL 24
Optimize the cost of waste collection in public places.
 Battery life superior to 5
years with 2 AA batteries
for a sampling period of
15 minutes
 Remote configuration
 Plug and play
 Reduce up to 50% waste
collection operating cost
The ultrasonic sensor indicates the
level of waste inside a dumpster and
confirms when the waste has been
collected.
The platform helps optimizing the
collection routes, resulting in savings
up to 50% of collection operating costs
It can also generate an alarm signal in
case of fire or when the container
dumped.

32. Home Alarm
System
CONFIDENTIAL 32
Alarms are traditionally connected through GSM to central system and
burglar intrusion can be facilitated by GSM jammers. There is a need for
effective backup connectivity to ensure more robust alarm transmissions.
 Robustness of solution is a
commercial differentiator
 Continuity of service
 Soft deployment via over the
air update - no HW swap. No
user impact
 Network available to handle
millions of devices
Sigfox has upgraded customer’s
alarm systems to provide a back-
up connectivity in case jamming is
detected.
The upgrade was possible over the
air as a Sub-GHz chip was already
inside.
