I recently have had some discussions with Michael and he agrees that both Sigfox and LoRa will create some very interesting opportunities to the NZ and Australian market.

Thinxtra – the NZ and Australian Sigfox Network Operator see a massive opportunity in building locally made products for verticals like facilities management. http://www.thinxtra.com/partners/ Is a handy reference for those looking for eco system partners.

The Sigfox network is now across 65% of the NZ population and we are not talking just one base-station on the Sky Tower and saying the area is covered ,Thinxtra has installed approx 11 across the City. I live in Whangaparoa but get a great signal from the 2 closest towers in Pinehill and Waiwera.

See you at Facilities Integrate.
