Dedicated connectivity provider for IoT Sigfox and WND have begun deploying Sigfox's dedicated IoT network throughout Brazil, starting with Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.
The new deployment marks the addition of the 18th country where Sigfox is present on all continents. The deployment with WND also marks Sigfox's launch in Latin America, with more countries soon to follow.
By starting the deployment in Rio de Janeiro, the two companies expect to have citywide network coverage by July. Sigfox expects the network to be operational in São Paulo, a city of more than 11 million people, in September 2016. The top 10 urban areas, representing one-third of Brazil's 210 million population, will be covered by September 2017.
