The Arduino MKR FOX 1200 board provides a practical and cost effective solution to adding Sigfox connectivity to projects requiring low power. This open source board can be connected to Arduino Create for programming, and to the existing Sigfox infrastructure with it’s broad Europe-wide coverage for collecting data. Sigfox infrastructure runs 24/7 without you needing to do anything to maintain it, and you can always check its status here. The MKR FOX 1200, gives you a great out-of-the-box experience when building IoT projects of any size: from the single sensor monitoring temperature in your home, to an industrial deployment covering the whole of an outdoors factory.

 

The board's main processor is a low power Arm® Cortex®-M0 32-bit SAMD21, like in the other boards within the Arduino MKR family. The Sigfox connectivity is performed with a module from Microchip®, the Smart RF ATA8520, a low power chipset operating in the 868 MHz range. No extra crypto chip is needed in this case, since the Sigfox network offers its own end-to-end security. These features make it a great IoT node and building block for low power wide area IoT devices within the Sigfox infrastructure.
