ABOUT
HELIOT Group is a telecommunications company that delivers Sigfox 0G cellular connectivity through a network of 800 base stations deployed across Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.
Unlike short-range bearers like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, Sigfox low-power/wide-area (LPWA) transmissions can send small data packets across tremendous distances — 3-10km in urban areas, and as much as 50km in rural areas; And unlike cellular, Sigfox allows devices to connect as needed to any base station in range
While these tiny data packets may not be not well-suited to consumer applications like gaming or video streaming, the combination of low power draw, extraordinary range, and distributed network architecture is ideal for the small sensing and actuation devices of the Internet of Things.
HELIOT helps bring Sigfox IoT projects to life by connecting millions of low-power IoT devices with strong, reliable connectivity that is monitored 24/7 for quality assurance.
