Collaboration with Sigfox paves way for leading wireless test providerto accelerate go-to-market for IoT devices

Sunnyvale, Calif., United States
LitePoint, a leading provider of wireless test solutions, announced that its IQxel family of testers has been validated by Sigfox for testing of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that are compatible with its LPWA technology.

Sigfox is the world’s leading provider of connectivity for the Internet of Things. The company has built a global network to connect billions of devices to the Internet while consuming as little energy as possible, as simply as possible. Sigfox’s network is already present in more than 30 countries, and on track to be in 60 countries by the end of 2018.

Thanks to this collaboration, device manufacturers can now use the IQxel-M to perform manufacturing tests of Sigfox-enabled IoT devices. They will also have a pre-certification tool ready-to use, enabling them to quickly design and qualify the modem of their IoT device. Furthermore, the LitePoint solution can be used to run certification testing as part of the Sigfox Verified™ certification program.

“IoT systems have a great need for high-quality RF at the lowest possible cost, which the cost effective and comprehensive IQxel-M delivers,” said Adam Smith, Director of Product Marketing at LitePoint. “The IQxel-M is an ideal solution to enable Sigfox’s partners to meet their growth plans for 2018.”

Raoul Mallart, CTO of Sigfox said, “We are pleased to welcome LitePoint in our global ecosystem of partners. Their cost-effective IQxel-M solution will contribute to simplify and accelerate the mass production of Sigfox compatible devices worldwide.”
