Test your wireless concept with a simple Sigfox starter package

Do you consider a wireless sensor-based solution for optimizing your service or business? EKTOS offers a Sigfox-based starter package that includes the hardware and software you need to make a quick and cost-effective proof of concept. With a starter package you are sure to get a functional prototype without having to reach for the soldering iron or code a single line.

The starter package costs 9.000 DKK – this is what you get

Based on your requirements for the specific use case and the sensors you provide, EKTOS modifies a standard development kit to include the needed sensors and features. EKTOS then adapts an application to visualize the sensor data and ships a fully functional Sigfox-based IoT breadboard to you which you can use to test your concept in a real environment.

In short, you get:

A standard development kit customized for your use case
A kickoff meeting with EKTOS to clarify requirements
A handover meeting with EKTOS when the prototype is ready
A “how to” guide
Firmware source code
A one-year Sigfox subscription for one unit
An estimate covering the full project cost if production is considered
Shipment and delivery of the starter package

The technology

It is possible for EKTOS to add one or two sensors to a standard development kit, e.g. sensors for measurement of humidity, temperature, pressure, sound, light, or movement. Note that the sensors are not included in the cost of the starter package. Features such as GPS for geo-location, an NFC reader, or a bar-code scanner can be added as well. Simple functionality, such as switching actuators on/off can be implemented.

The prototype is based on a standard development kit such as the ”B-L072Z-LRWAN1 Discovery kit” from ST or the Wisol ”BRKWS20 breakout board”. The data visualization is based on an IoT platform such as “Thingsboard” or “myDevices Cayenne”.

Interested in more information?

You are welcome to reach out to EKTOS at +45 7070 1499 or info@ektos.net for an informal talk about the options with the Sigfox sensor starter package.

Test dit IoT-koncept med en simpel Sigfox startpakke

Overvejer du en trådløs sensor-baseret løsning til optimering af dine services eller din virksomhed? EKTOS tilbyder en Sigfox-baseret startpakke, der indeholder den hardware og software, du har brug for, for at få et hurtigt og omkostningseffektivt ”proof of concept”. Med en startpakke er du sikker på at få en funktionel prototype uden at skulle have fat i loddekolben eller kode en eneste linje.

Startpakken koster 9.000 DKK – dette får du for pengene

EKTOS tilpasser et standard ”development kit” til dine specifikationer og de sensorer, du leverer. EKTOS tilpasser derefter et program til at visualisere sensordataene og sender til sidst den fuldt funktionelle Sigfox-baserede IoT-prototype til dig.

Kort sagt får du:

Et standard ”development kit” tilpasset dine specifikationer
Et Sigfox-abonnement på et år for én enhed
Et kickoff-møde med EKTOS til afklaring af specifikationer
Et overleveringsmøde med EKTOS ved projektafslutning
En “how to” guide
Firmware-kildekode
Et bud på, hvad et komplet udviklingsprojekt ville koste, hvis aktuelt
Levering af startpakken

Teknologien

Det er muligt for EKTOS at tilføje en eller to sensorer til et standard ”development kit”, det kan f.eks. være sensorer til måling af fugtighed, temperatur, tryk, lyd, lys eller bevægelse. Bemærk, at sensorerne ikke er inkluderet i prisen for startpakken. Funktioner såsom GPS, NFC-læser eller en stregkodescanner kan også tilføjes. Simple funktionaliteter som at tænde og slukke aktuatorer kan implementeres.

Prototypen er baseret på et standardudviklingssæt som ”B-L072Z-LRWAN1 Discovery kit” fra ST eller Wisol ”BRKWS20 breakout board”. Datavisualiseringen vil være baseret på en IoT-platform som “Thingsboard” eller “myDevices Cayenne”.
