Water Metering
Without SIGFOX, efficient and affordable management and control of water distribution
network would not be possible for cities and municipalities
OPPORTUNITY
SIGFOX SOLUTIONS
• 20% of the water distributed in developed
countries is estimated to be lost (50% in
emerging markets)
• Water AMR solutions use SIGFOX batterypowered radio transmitters installed on
• Yield over 85% for each drinking water
each meter to transfer the meter reading
network by 2017 imposed by French
directly to a centralized management
Grenelle II Act
software program
• Huge investments required to improve
• Water network managers can expect to
existing water networks
operate the AMR solution for at least 12
years without battery replacement
• Necessary to continuously monitor water
flow consumption and be alerted of any
water leaks in real time
VISIBLE BENEFITS
• Real-time monitoring of water distribution
networks, with continuous reading of
water meters, allowing:
• Increased frequency of readings
• Detection of fraud and overconsumption
• Invoicing based on actual consumption
(rather than estimated)
SIGFOX low TCO and proven OSS/BSS solutions disruptively change the smart metering
market as a response to expensive bills for Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) shipments
enabled by costly proprietary technology

ubiquitous network
• Data reading in a centralized cloud
solution
VISIBLE BENEFITS
Visible Benefits
• Lowest TCO

Potential large-scale smart cities projects clearly lie ahead
OPPORTUNITY
SIGFOX SOLUTIONS
SIGFOX Solutions
• Congested city centers
• Increasing parking pressure
• Magnetic sensor drilled in the ground with
SIGFOX connectivity
• Necessary monitoring of parking
information deterred by the OPEX and
energy constraints of the GSM

• Lowest TCO
• OPEX only driven by battery maintenance
• Reduced traffic density
• Optimized management of urban parking
areas
• Information provided on the most
frequented areas and times of the day
• Green city with lower CO2 emissions
SIGFOX brings disruption to traditional waste collection methods by allowing significant
improvements in efficiency, which result in dramatic cost reductions
Waste Collection
OPPORTUNITY
SIGFOX SOLUTIONS
SIGFOX Solutions
• The increase in waste generated and the
introduction of waste segmentation for
recycling purposes led to the
obsolescence of traditional waste
collection methods
• Inefficiency
• Complicate to manage
• SIGFOX technology is used to transmit
information about the status of each
container
• Each existing waste container is equipped
with a specific ultrasonic sensor that
provides a complete view of its fill rate
• Data is centralized and presented in an
internet portal managed by the local
council or the service company, which
can then plan routes accordingly
VISIBLE BENEFITS
Visible Benefits
• Competitive communication costs with
lower capital expenditure and longer
battery life, driving down the total cost of
ownership by up to 80%
• 100% overflow prevention
• Fill rate forecasting to optimize collection
routes and save money and resources
• Increased quality of service,
• Possible implementation of waste
environmental care and city image
disposal tracking for each user to regulate
• Information on neighborhoods, districts
taxes
and communities

Alarm System
SIGFOX can be used as a reliable secondary connectivity provider with low TCO
OPPORTUNITY
SIGFOX SOLUTIONS
SIGFOX Solutions
• Cellular connectivity used for alarm
panels is costly and not reliable
• GSM connectivity can easily be jammed
by burglars
• Alarm system providers have no choice
but to find alternative connectivity
solutions for redundancy purposes
• Second/independent communication
channel enabled by SIGFOX
• Second channel of communication acting
as a back-up if the primary communication
channel fails
• No change in hardware, most alarm
panels can be turned SIGFOX-ready
through a firmware upgrade that can be
performed via existing GSM connectivity
VISIBLE BENEFITS
Visible Benefits
• Very low investment to connect the panels
with SIGFOX brings a lot of value for
security providers through strengthened
reliability
• Alarm system keeps functioning in the
event of a power failure without bulky and
costly back-up batteries
Freed from constraints in costs and energy consumptions, SIGFOX delivers incomparable
solutions to ensure the reliability of smoke detectors
Smoke Detectors
OPPORTUNITY
SIGFOX SOLUTIONS
SIGFOX Solutions
• Smoke detectors installation imposed by
regulation
• Current reliability issue
• Battery life
• No connectivity
• Remotely monitor the devices (battery +
on/off status)
• In case of fire, the device can send
emergency alarm message through its
SIGFOX connectivity
VISIBLE BENEFITS
Visible Benefits
• No other technology could provide a
comparable solution, constrained by cost
and energy consumption
• Reliability dramatically increased at a
marginal cost (key for insurance
companies)
• Lifetime connectivity cost can easily be
bundled in the product cost
Home Care
Monitoring
SIGFOX enables home care solution providers to improve services with reliable connectivity
at marginal cost
OPPORTUNITY
SIGFOX SOLUTIONS
SIGFOX Solutions
• Explosive eHealth solutions for elderly
people with booming “silver economy”
• Monitoring of home care for aged people
deterred by the OPEX and energy
constraints of GSM
• Call for affordable and reliable low
throughput connectivity since broadband
penetration is extremely low among the
targeted audience
VISIBLE BENEFITS
Visible Benefits
• Time monitoring
• Attendance control of nurses
• Connected strap for Alzheimer patients
allowing to detect falls or house/hospital
border crossing thanks to SIGFOX
network's unique geolocalisation features
• Improved services of home care which is
a key priority to reduce the cost burden on
social security systems
• Lowest TCO
• OPEX only driven by battery maintenance
• Lowest energy consumption
• Stability and reliability
• Easily replicable
