Sigfox technology is a reliable alternative service of communication for security devices. Over the last 5 years, 2.8 million Securitas alarms have been linked to the Sigfox network. The adoption of Sigfox is growing tremendously with more than 200 universities, and partners as well as more than 1.200 startups developing the future with Sigfox’s simple technology.

As part of its ambitious 5-year strategy Sigfox is naturally working towards its target of connecting 1 billion devices to its 0G network by the end of 2023. To achieve this, Sigfox need to expand 0G in strategic countries such as: India, Russia, China.
