Sigfox COMET Micro Station

Description

The Sigfox Micro Station is the most versatile and cost-effective Sigfox gateway ever, created for when your project lacks Sigfox coverage on site.

It provides a flexible, easy-to-install solution to extend the Sigfox network yourself – even in hard-to-reach locations. It provides instant network coverage of an area, allowing companies to deploy their IoT solutions where there is no Sigfox reception yet.

Its extremely low power consumption enables remote IoT applications where no power source is available, e.g. with a solar panel.

The station has a built-in antenna. Simply connect the device to the power supply (mains adapter included) and to an Ethernet computer network with internet access and within two minutes the Sigfox radio network is at your disposal.

If an Ethernet network is not available at the installation site, you can connect a USB dongle 3G/4G modem with a SIM card to the USB connector of the station and establish an internet connection via your mobile operator. In this case, you need to set the correct access point (APN) in the station with the mobile app to activate the data connection to the selected mobile operator.

The station is supplied without an additional cover and is therefore intended for indoor use only.
