Test and Measurement: SigFox, Paessler partner for IoT monitoring
Paessler’s PRTG Network Monitor for IoT solutions will provide IoT monitoring and visualization of both functionality and measurement data from Sigfox-enabled IT infrastructure sensors, the two companies said, as well as “other objects, devices and machines that are equipped with or have adaptive Sigfox connectivity.” PRTG is already used by about 200,000 system administrators for monitoring and alerts, Paessler said. The LPWAN solution for Sigfox utilizes two methods to convey Sigfox messages to the PRTG network monitor: a “push” method where data is sent immediately, or an API-based method where the PRTG sends data requests to Sigfox-connected devices at pre-defined intervals.
