The SIGFOX technology uses UNB (Ultra Narrow Band) for radio communication. The use of UNB is key to establishing a highly scalable, robust network with low energy consumption while allowing for simple network star-type topology.
The network operates in globally available ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) ranges. This range is shared by other wireless technologies but without the risk of interference or capacity problems. SIGFOX currently uses the European ISM range of 868 MHz.
Modem messages are received by all base stations in the neighborhood and sent to backend for processing. They are subsequently made available to users through a web API.
