35. SMART COUNCILS FAQ DOCUMENT 1/4
Below is a set of frequently asked questions and answers typically asked by councils in relation to the
deployment of the Sigfox antennas.
Topic: Physical Size and minimal footprint for a Sigfox Base Station and Antenna.
Q. Compared to Traditional Cellular 3G / 4G Networks what is the physical footprint of the Sigfox Base
Station Equipment?
A. Our antenna size is a 70cm stick of sorts approx. 2cm in diameter and weighing ~700 grams relative to a
typical Cellular 3G/4G deployment of 400kg antenna.
The base station module for signal processing and backhaul requires 2 slots of a 19" Rack (2 RU) compared
to a typical Cellular 3G/4G deployment of a 20 foot container size base stations.
Q. Compared to Traditional Cellular 3G / 4G Networks what is electricity/power consumption of the Sigfox
Base Station Equipment?
A. Our base station required a standard 16A GPO, it consumes less than 80 Watts, this is comparable to a
light bulb and costs less than $100 a year. Typical Cellular 3G/4G base stations require dedicated power
connectivity and cost thousands of dollars annually.

36. Topic: Local Council, business and Community Support.
Q. What is the Thinxtra Engagement model for Local Communities, Business and Councils?
A. Thinxtra are actively working to provide support to local businesses and ecosystem. We are actively
engaged in community and agriculture projects for the benefit of the community. In addition we work with
numerous incubators providing our development kits and free connectivity.
SMART COUNCILS FAQ DOCUMENT 2/4
Topic: Compensation for sites.
Q. What Compensation is provided in exchange for the offer of sites?
A. In the form of compensation Thinxtra are offering the value of $1,000 per annum in the form of
connectivity. (This is the commercial value of antenna equipment) or for Council to resell.
Topic: Non-Exclusivity
Q. Does Thinxtra need exclusive access to the site(s)?
A. We are not asking for exclusivity on the site(s). The Council is open to offering similar deals to other
network providers.

37. Topic: Interference
Q. What levels of interference is caused by Sigfox equipment for other network providers?
A. Sigfox technology is designed to and is known to play well with other networks meaning other networks
can be established and other network antennas can be placed nearby. Sigfox requires a small 2 meter
separation to other network technologies.
SMART COUNCILS FAQ DOCUMENT 3/4
Topic: Premium Traditional Sites
Q. Does Thinxtra / Sigfox require Premium high value traditional sites like those used by traditional
telecommunications providers for 3G / 4G?
A. Whilst premium sites are preferred, Thinxtra and Sigfox do not require the placement of our antennas at
typical sites normally associated with Cellular 3G/4G style locations.
Given the minimalist footprint (70cm tall) and weight (700grams) of our antenna and backhaul module we
can be located in positions equivalent to existing TV antennas in sites that would otherwise be unsuitable
for Cellular installation weighing upwards of 400kg.

38. SMART COUNCILS FAQ DOCUMENT 4/4
Topic: Licence Agreement.
Q. Why is a license agreement required?
A. Once the Sigfox network is installed and communities, businesses and Councils are relying on the
network we have a duty to provide a reliable service with minimal if any disruption to the up time of each
base station and this requirement is covered in the agreement. Additionally from a commercial perspective
in order to minimise the risk of the time effort and money required to complete the installation we are keen
to ensure that this investment stays in place for a minimal license period to avoid expensive relocation costs
without good reason.
Topic: Radio Frequency Exposure Levels
Q. How does Sigfox compare to other transmissions levels for other wireless networks?
A. Sigfox transmission power is 100 times less than a standard WiFi router. It is also worth noting that the
transmission only takes place 5% of the time as the base stations is predominantly is in listening mode.
