Sigfox
Sigfox, sometimes spelled in all caps (SIGFOX), is a French firm that builds wireless networks to connect low-energy objects such as electricity meters, smartwatches, and washing machines, which need to be continuously on and emitting small amounts of data. Its infrastructure is intended to be a contribution to what is known as the Internet of Things (IoT).〔 According to ''CNET'', Sigfox charges "$1 per device per year for those with 50,000 or more devices attaching".〔
SIGFOX was founded in 2009 by Ludovic Le Moan and Christophe Fourtet. A 2015 report noted that France's government has identified the IoT sector "as an area of strength for the country's startups," and that "Sigfox has emerged as one of the country's biggest names in this field." A round of funding in February of that year was described as "France’s biggest round of funding ever".
SIGFOX describes itself as "the first and only company providing global cellular connectivity for the Internet of Things". Its infrastructure is "completely independent of existing networks, such as telecommunications networks." SIGFOX seeks to provide the means for the "deployment of billions of objects and thousands of new uses" with the long-term goal of "having petabytes of data produced by everyday objects".

SIGFOX is based in Labège, in southwestern France, at the so-called IoT Valley. SIGFOX has more than 80 employees, most of them in Labège, a suburb of Toulouse that is a regional tech and startup center.〔 The firm also has offices in Madrid, San Francisco, and at the Partech Shaker, a modern building in central Paris designed for startups and international companies. In 2015, as a consequence of Sigfox's partnership with Samsung, the company announced it would open an R&D centre in Paris.
