“With this partnership, Google Cloud technology will support us in becoming the global leader in ultra-low-cost, ultra-low-power asset visibility and tracking.”
Google Cloud was chosen to support Sigfox’s 0G network to deliver better scale, increased reliability, and necessary compliance and security required by Sigfox. In addition, Google Cloud will lay the foundation for accelerated improvements to Sigfox’s connectivity, geolocation, and other value-added services as it moves towards ultra-low-cost and ultra-low-power IoT solutions.
