Loic Barancourt, Thinxtra’s CEO was featured on Qantas in-flight entertainment app, Q radio. The podcast introducing the Internet of Things and Sigfox along with educating the change it is bringing to businesses across ANZ in providing visibility of assets and conditions.
KEY TAKAWAYS FROM PODCAST:
- Applying French technology called Sigfox to Australia and New Zealand.
- Sigfox offers alternative way for devices to connect “there is a capacity for these things to send small messages over a very long distance with very low power requirement, which means no battery life and at a very low cost”.
- Wireless with no cords.
- Sigfox technology allows messages to travel over 50km.
- Connecting more things, water meters, pet trackers for insurance companies.
- Customers in Australia, 1 million connections for Silicon Controls- they offer a connected gauge that sits onto of gas cylinders to see if they are empty or full.
- A lot of appetite for connecting more- there will be a lot more devices being connected.
- Very low cost, low power and low cost.
Internet of Things (IoT) is the next technological revolution impacting businesses and consumers by connecting billions of objects to the Internet.
While major telco operators are focusing on investing millions to increase bandwidth for smartphones, they are leaving aside an amazing potential in small message transmissions such as: Meter readings, GPS position, Temperature, Movement monitoring, …
In the past, high costs, short battery lives and implementation complexity have blocked most IoT trials. Therefore, to unlock this market, Thinxtra will use the SIGFOX technology, world-leader and already deployed in Europe, to provide low power, long range and low-cost IoT solutions.
