Paessler and Sigfox partner to accelerate adoption of the Internet of Things

Paessler AG, a network monitoring specialist, and Sigfox, a provider of connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT), are partnering to help their customers more effectively monitor and manage their critical IT infrastructure and manifold further assets. As part of the partnership, Paessler delivered their PRTG Network Monitor for IoT solutions that will monitor and visualise 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. Sigfox’s network is designed to connect billions of devices to the Internet via its Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) and its Sigfox Cloud services, while dramatically decreasing the cost and complexity of the systems involved. Using a unique approach to wireless connectivity that draws on a highly reliable and interference resistant Ultra-Narrow Band frequency to provide an exceptionally wide range while simultaneously requiring very little power, Sigfox has radically altered the economics associated with the Internet of Things.
