💪🏼 Powering up

Earlier this year, they acquired France-based leading IoT firm Sigfox after it filed for bankruptcy, including its 0G network. And it's no small company — they connect over 10M sensors for 1,500 companies through their 0G network through 70+ national 0G operators globally.

• The deal was estimated to be about 25M EUR ($26M).
• No, 0G isn't the predecessor of 5G. Sigfox 0G is a solution used to connect sensors and devices, and it's inexpensive, reliable and low-powered.

They also added a new R&D center in France, their second center after their R&D center in Taipei.

🚀 What's next?

The new $$$ is for sales, product and R&D. They'll be investing in four verticals (utilities, security, facilities management and supply chain and logistics) across LatAm, APAC and EMEA.

• They'll continue integrating low-power WAN and satellite IoT, while also expanding the scale and scope of their UnaConnect data platform.
• Apart from that, they'll also enhance their core low-power 0G capabilities and allow cost-effective long-range connectivity for very low-value assets.
