Paessler and Sigfox Announce Partnership to Accelerate IoT Adoption

Paessler, a network monitoring company, and Sigfox, provider of connectivity for the IoT, has unveiled a partnership to help customers more effectively monitor and manage critical IT infrastructure. As part of the partnership, Paessler delivered its PRTG Network Monitor for IoT solutions that will monitor and visualize the functionality and measurement data from Sigfox-enabled IT infrastructure sensors, as well as from other objects, devices and machines that are equipped with or have adaptive Sigfox connectivity. The company’s network ecosystem delivers the technology and protocols as well as the entire wireless network required for objects to share their information from anywhere in the world through inexpensive sensor connectivity that requires very little silicon and utilizes very little battery power – or alternatively no batteries at all – while harnessing low levels of energy generated by solar and wind power, as well as electromagnetic waves. Expected to be available in 60 countries by the end of 2018, the network reflects Sigfox’s vision to ‘make things come alive.’
