Collaboration between IoT Denmark and EKTOS speeds up the implementation of IoT solutions

13 October 2024

By initiating a partnership, IoT Denmark and EKTOS ensure fast and efficient support to companies developing IoT solutions with Sigfox.

As Danish SigFox operator IoT Denmark meets a number of companies that want to develop IoT solutions. With EKTOS as electronics partner, IoT Denmark can support customers with estimation, design, and development of the hardware in their product. Which sensor solutions or actuators suit the given product the best? Does the product need to be developed from scratch or does a ready solution already exist? If it is to be developed, what would it cost? And what about the cost of production? How to ensure that the product meets the regulatory requirements so that it can be sold in the desired market? These are the types of questions EKTOS can help answer.

EKTOS is an engineering company with Danish roots with strong competencies in the development, testing, approval, and production of eg. IoT solutions. By collaborating with EKTOS, IoT Denmark’s customers can draw on EKTOS’ expert knowledge.

“The collaboration with EKTOS strengthens our business by ensuring a fast and professional support for those of our customers who are considering developing a Sigfox solution,” says Kenneth Jahn Andersen, director of IoT Denmark. Kenneth adds: “One of Sigfox’s benefits is precisely the global partner network and the open standards – and we would like to build this further locally ”.

EKTOS prefers Sigfox for energy-efficient IoT solutions

EKTOS always recommends its customers choose Sigfox technology, where it is the optimal solution, technically and commercially, as is the case for many IoT products. “The Sigfox network excels compared to other solutions when very high energy efficiency is desired in battery-powered applications,” says EKTOS Director Jesper Holst, adding: “In addition, it is possible to develop and roll out projects quickly and with great predictability on the Sigfox network because of the well-established network operators, like IoT Denmark, and because there is a high maturity in the ecosystem of ready-made Sigfox-based sensor manufacturers and module suppliers already. ”

Evening meetings on the latest developments and common challenges

IoT Denmark and EKTOS join forces to host a series of evening meetings – you are hereby invited to the first one! At the first evening meeting, EKTOS and IoT Denmark will show how to estimate the expenses associated with kickstarting an IoT product with Sigfox. In addition, EKTOS will share their experience and advice on designing battery products – a discipline that is not straightforward to master.
The meeting will be held at EKTOS’ location in Copenhagen on A.C. Meyers Vænge 15, Tuesday, October 1st, from 17.00-20.00.

If you are interested in participating or would like to hear more, you are most welcome to contact Hjørdis Clemmensen, Head of Marketing at EKTOS, tel. +45 6169 2281 or hjc@ektos.net.
