1 SIGFOX technology

SIGFOX is the first and only operator of a cellular network fully dedicated to low throughput communication for connected objects. With an extremely cost effective and very low energy consuming out-of-the-box connectivity offer, SIGFOX brings a revolution to the world of Internet of Things and M2M. The network, which already connects tens of thousands of objects, is being rolled out worldwide.

2 Base station synoptic

SIGFOX base stations operate on reception on a specific frequency bandwidth used by SIGFOX terminals. They are also able if necessary to transmit information to do single or multi-cast back to these terminals. The base stations include a complete system described in the following synoptic. Some elements are provided by the SIGFOX NETWORK OPERATOR (SNO) such as the antenna. The antenna characteristics depends on the operating frequency band and specific site constraints (gain, height, etc…). SIGFOX will provide the transceiver unit called SIGFOX Base Station transceiver (SBS-T) version V2 and the corresponding antenna low noise switch/amplifier (SBS-P). This component integrates a low noise amplifier in reception mode and a switch that bypasses this stage in transmission mode. This device characteristic depends also on operating frequency bands applicable in the region. SIGFOX Base Station transceiver (SBS-T) version V2 series are ultra wide range, high linearity transceivers units and feature first class performance radio and innovative software defined processing, for use in Ultra Narrow Band Machine-To-Machine wireless communication systems. Base Station transceiver (SBS-T) version V2 can have a preset receiver frequency depending on the radio regulation applicable in the region. For instance, at 868.2MHz, targeting M2M application in European ISM bands or at 902 MHz for M2M application in US ISM bands. Other frequencies are of course possible. This choice is made by a specific software configuration. SIGFOX SBS-T series are indoor units with aluminum chassis, suitable for wall mount, rack mount or desktop installation.

4 Installation site recommendations

This base station has been developed to be installed in indoor. It must be used with an LNA. It can be used also with a cavity filter. The datasheets of LNAs for 902-928MHz operation is in annex 1. The datasheets of LNAs for 868.13MHz operation is in annex 2.

4.1 Cavity filter option

The cavity filter use is optional in some countries.

Cavity Filter

4.1.1 New Zealand

In New Zealand this base station must be installed with the cavity filter described in annex 3 on the top of the LNA.

4.2 Antenna

This Base station was certified with an Omnidirectional Antenna with a Gain of 8dBi. Only an omnidirectional antenna with a gain of 8dBi or less can be used.
