Enabling the fast, secure and cost-effective implementation of industrial IoT solutions, PLAT.ONE and SIGFOX have announced a partnership. Designed for two-way, small-message device communication, the SIGFOX global IoT network extends the battery and service life of connected devices and removes the cost and energy-use barriers to wide adoption of the IoT. The network is operating in several European countries and will begin deployment in the U.S. this year.

PLAT.ONE is claimed to be the first complete end-to-end IoT application platform, offering ‘cloud-ready’ distributed application enablement, data management and device management.

Alongside the implementation of industrial IoT solutions, the combination of the SIGFOX network and PLAT.ONE’s full-stack features also allows rapid development and deployment of large scale and mission critical applications. Such applications include smart metering, security, smart cities, health, environmental and agriculture monitoring, asset tracking, equipment management and infrastructure control.

“Many companies want to take advantage of the IoT and SIGFOX is developing partnerships that help accelerate and simplify adoption,” commented Stuart Lodge, Executive Vice President, Global Sales, SIGFOX. “Our collaboration with PLAT.ONE will simplify the adoption process, leveraging our SIGFOX Ready programme to make it easy and convenient for companies to deliver business value enabled by our global network.”

Filippo Murroni, CEO, PLAT.ONE, said: “The SIGFOX REST API set provides a concise yet scalable service interface. It provides a normalised integration pattern, abstracting the complexities of the underlying connected devices. PLAT.ONE seamlessly integrates with SIGFOX to provide rich applications, data management and end-to-end security to the end-user through a highly scalable and proven technology.”
