Overview
SIGFOX is a rapidly expanding Low-Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technology which is ideal for use in many IoT applications. A number of HATs and peripherals are available which can be used to bring SIGFOX connectivity to the UP Board. Most of these devices use a simple UART connection and will typically work out-of-the-box with the UP board. A list of those that have been verified with UP can be found below.
Further information on SIGFOX technology can be found at http://www.sigfox.com
