Sigfox has unveiled new IoT silicon that it hopes will carry it forward in the LPWAN race, with manufacturing partners Wisol and InnoComm. With EMEA-ready modules expected to cost around $2, and the FCC and Asian modules coming in lower than $3, Sigfox is hoping to shift the discussion of costs from the connectivity to the hardware. In our conversation with Thomas Nicholls and Maxime Schacht (cut short by a fire drill in our offices …), it was clear that Sigfox thinks that the size of the LPWAN market depends on the cost of the silicon, rather than the price of connectivity – and that simplifying the silicon cost should make the total cost of ownership in the ecosystem lower.…
