(even in case of fire) §  Long battery life §  Low cost subscriptions

The Challenge §  In 23% of cases, standard smoke sensors do not work when there is a fire at

home ! §  Predictive maintenance decreases the risk of faulty smoke detectors §  Law for smoke detectors to be fitted in residential properties in France (only

5% have complied)

The Connected Solution §  Connected smoke detector to increase safety §  Regular status (heartbeat) monitors correct functioning §  Real time alert through phone calls, SMS, and emails §  Distribution through retail or insurance companies

CUSTOMERS  BENEFITS  §  Unique Selling Proposition:

§  Easy to install §  Secured data transmission §  Proof of function §  5+ year battery life

§  TAM: 12 million policy holders

CUSTOMER:  :              

SECURITY

WHY  SIGFOX  ?  §  Anti-jamming function §  Compatible IC SW upgrade

(transforms short range device into long range with no hardware cost)

§  Network available to handle millions of devices

The Challenge §  Alarms traditionally connected through GSM to a central system §  Burglar intrusion facilitated by GSM jammers §  Need for effective backup connectivity to ensure more robust alarm

transmissions

The Connected Solution §  Millions of devices in customer homes and businesses connected

via SIGFOX §  Started with alarm systems to avoid jammer weakness §  Installed base upgrade over the air as sub-GHz chip was already

inside

CUSTOMERS  BENEFITS  §  Robustness is a differentiator §  No Hardware swap (over the air

update)  

 

CUSTOMER  :              :  

CONNECTED EQUIPMENT

WHY  SIGFOX  ?  §  Nationwide coverage §  Fully wireless: no main power §  Low power: 4 year autonomy (LR) §  Plug & Play: customer installation

The Challenge §  Defibrillators are often located where passers-by do not perform auto tests of

equipment to ensure the correct functioning §  Customers who own several defibrillators (e.g. industry) want centralised supervision §  Actual connected wall boxes are expensive (GSM), and need to be wired because of

electricity consumption

The Connected Solution §  Wall box compatible with Philips HS1 defibrillator, sending monitoring information:

§  Door status (open / close) §  Defibrillator status (OK / Not OK) §  Daily Auto test & Battery test

CUSTOMERS  BENEFITS  §  Always functioning defibrillators §  Easy installation §  Value services: Notifications,

Central supervision, …

CRITICAL GOODS MANAGEMENT

WHY  SIGFOX  ?  •  Long range global network •  Out-of-the-box connectivity •  Long battery life

The Challenge §  Some goods and products need to be transported under special conditions and monitored

to ensure they remain within the optimal conditions §  Existing wireless sensor products (Cobalt2) are professional dataloggers that connect

sensors at programmable intervals, store data locally and transfer to the ThermoServer cloud

§  They offer different sensor types: temperature, humidity, CO2, pressure, light, voltage but result in a complex system (infrastructure to build) and limited short range (<100m indoor)

The Connected Solution §  Evolution of the Product Line with SIGFOX global connectivity §  Applications: Biological samples, Blood, Pharmaceutical products, Food … §  Full Management system: Alerts, Wireless siren, Emergency group contact, Audit trails
