SIGFOX, the low energy Internet-of-Things network provider, and FIWARE, an open initiative whose platform provides application programming interfaces (APIs) that simplify development of smart applications, has recently announced a new seamless connector between the FIWARE platform and SIGFOX-ready devices. The new open-source connector allows developers to use all SIGFOX-ready devices with FIWARE Internet-of-Things (IoT) software enablers to gather and process data.
According to SIGFOX, with the OMA (Open Mobile Alliance) NGSI standard-based connector, developers will be able to choose from the large catalogue of SIGFOX-compatible devices that require virtually no integration. FIWARE already enables users to monitor data collected via sensors on IoT devices, allowing them to obtain information about measures such as temperature, pressure, location and humidity.

By accessing the FIWARE ecosystem, app developers can create IoT applications and services very quickly and increase their impact, due to the usage of FIWARE standard APIs. This partnership also underscores SIGFOX’s commitment to open-source platforms and to working with multiple partners for the benefit of our network operators and their customers.
