We’re making the IoT revolutionhappen!

Since the dawn of computing and the explosion of digital technology, humans have strived to digitise the physical world. But now more than ever, our physical and digital worlds are beginning to intersect in exciting new ways.

If objects could talk, what would they say? What vital information could they share with us? We at SqwidNET are giving a voice and a life to the physical world. Ultimately, everything around us will be able to have a voice. With the continued miniaturization and technological advancements of sensors, such as energy harvesting, we will witness a continuous flow of data, merging the physical world with the digital world.

What if high costs and battery life were no longer barriers for connectivityto the physical world?

Imagine a world...

...where recharging or replacing batteries is no longer needed because sensors and data transmission are autonomous and self-powered.

...where everyday inexpensive items can transmit useful data, such as installation date, usage hours, ortemperature fluctuations.

...where universal low-power, low-bandwidth connectivity can be combined with high-bandwidth solutions to improve existing applications and to enable endless possibilities.

This is reality.We've built the network and ecosystem to make it all possible.

At SqwidNET, we plan on travelling far beyond the next technology revolution dubbed the ‘Internet of Things’.We will unite rich constellations of sensors to capture data and improve the lives of humans – giving people, brands, companies, and organizations the opportunity to develop and deliver services that are more effective and more meaningful. In the near future, we’ll be able to move seamlessly between issues related to

health, maintenance, security, and sustainability, thanks to interconnected data and constant interaction with the Cloud. It will be easier to fight diseases, improve comfort, enhance the lives of the young or elderly, and improve safety on our roads, at sea, and in the air. And best of all, we'll be able to accomplish all this with less waste, less energy, and in a way that enables better decision making. At SqwidNET, we're already setting this in motion. We have opened the realm of possibility, and now we want to work with you to shape it.

It’s about connectingthe What will it take to reach the true potential of loT?Many of tomorrow's great ideas are technically possible today. They might just be constrained by budget and energy issues. The reality is that small, inexpensive objects simply don't have enough power to communicate with large mobile networks. That's why Sigfox pioneered low power device-to-Cloud

connectivity to complement high-bandwidth solutions.

SqwidNET’s low-powered connectivity solutions not only improve existing business cases but also enable a new range of opportunities for businesses across all industries. There are no limits to what can be achieved.

Whatever your industry, SqwidNET matters.

Dive into the details.The Sigfox network operates on sub-GHz frequencies on ISM bands: 868MHz in Europe/ETSI and 902MHz in the US/FCC.

SqwidNET uses Ultra Narrow Band (UNB), which is key to our ability to provide a scalable and high-capacity network.

With a 163.3 dB budgetlink, Sigfox enables long-range communications including hard-to-reach locations

With Sigfox, battery life is predictable since it enables devices to maintain full control over data exchanges. The device simply emits in the available frequency band (plus or minus its own frequency shift). The signal is detected by the closest base stations, decoded, and forwarded to the network backend.

The Sigfox Cloud forwards and receives the data through standards-based web APIs.

Each message contains a cryptographic token allowing the device and the network to mutually authenticate each other. Additionally, an anti-replay mechanism prevents any attacker from resending a recorded message. UNB and frequency hopping provide strong countermeasures against jamming and interferences.

“Digital transformation has been happening at various levels, including processes, workflows, systems, and communications. We are now at the point of digitizing the only remaining bits: physical things. This will bring these physical things to life, connecting the physical world with the digital world and making it possible to reap the benefits of the Internet of Things.

The challenge of connecting these billions of things are to ensure that• the costs of the devices are low;• the cost of the connectivity is low;• the power consumption of the devices, the majority of which will be deployed in field, is low; and• the barriers to rapid development, deployment, and commercialization are low.

the digital world...making things come alive.making things come alive.

The Sigfox network and ecosystem was developed specifically to overcome all these challenges.

Globally, Sigfox has the lowest cost IoT chipset in the market. The network is deployed using long-range base stations operating on the in the 868Mhz ISM band and managed by a cloud based OSS and BSS, all of which contribute to the lowest connectivity costs for global IoT coverage. Devices only communicate when required, minimizing power consumption, and resulting in battery life of up to 10 years and more.

We enable an ecosystem that will accelerate the development, deployment, and adoption of the IoT in South Af rica, enabling industry and society to reap the benefits.”
