Unabiz (ex-Sigfox)

Sigfox 0G network charges only 12-byte messages at up to 140 transmissions per day, consuming orders of magnitude less energy than LTE-M for asset tracking use cases where hourly positions are sufficient. Monarch feature auto-detects the active Sigfox region (RC1-RC6) from received network beacons, enabling a single hardware SKU to operate globally without regional firmware variants. GNSS chipset achieves cold-start fix in under 30 seconds using Sigfox-assisted GPS time and almanac injection over the 0G downlink, reducing positioning energy by 70% versus standalone cold-start. Sigfox Atlas location service provides non-GPS network-based geolocation as a fallback when GNSS is unavailable indoors or in dense urban canyons. Production variant achieves 10+ year battery life at one GPS position per day transmission schedule.
