system being deployed by French technology and service provider Sigfox.
On the heels of holidays well underway, the season of shopping and gifting raises new concerns about data security for consumers and corporations alike.
Sigfox has already built a nationwide LPWAN in France by itself and deployed one across Spain with a carrier partner that provided cell sites and other infrastructure. It’s building out a network in the U.K. with another partner. In March, Sigfox plans to announce the completion of a network across the San Francisco Bay Area, and it aims to be in the top 20 markets in the U.S. this year.
Several silicon vendors, including Texas Instruments and STMicroelectronics, use Sigfox technology free of charge in chips for devices, said Luke D’Arcy, director of business development for Sigfox in the U.S. The company is working with the 3GPP, which develops most cellular technologies, to standardize its technology. It hopes ultimately to make the system part of the 5G specification expected around 2020. Ultimately, Sigfox wants to be just one of many companies deploying and operating Sigfox-based networks, D’Arcy said.

Sigfox’s networks run at about 100 bits per second in Europe and will offer up to 500 bits per second in the U.S.
“We’re unapologetically slow,” D’Arcy said. “It would be compellingly frustrating to use to surf the Internet. We’re absolutely not going after connecting up human beings.”
