Thinxtra is proud to announce the launch of the Xkit – an Arduino based development platform for the Sigfox global network. The perfect way to get started with Sigfox, the Thinxtra Xkit devkit boasts a full suite of features and accessories to empower anyone to set up an IoT solution, even with very little hardware experience.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Perfect for start-ups, design houses, universities and schools, the kit has everything needed to hit the ground running using the globally available Sigfox network.
  • The Xkit supports multiple hardware development platforms to enable discovery and development at varying levels of technical skills.
  • The shield can be used with Arduino Uno R3 board clone (included), STM Nucleo development board, Freescale development board, and Microchip development kit.
  • The shield, via its USB port, can also be plugged into Raspberry Pi, PC and Mac computers.
  • Thinxtra also provides complete step-by-step guides to use the Xkit with well known IoT platforms: Amazon Web Services IoT, Microsoft Azure and IBM Bluemix.

The Xkit is now available for purchase and supports three Sigfox zones:

RCZ1 – Europe

RCZ2 – US, Mexico and Brasil

RCZ4 – Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Latin America

Renald Gallis, VP Marketing and Ecosystem at Thinxtra: “We realised early in the game that the best way to support the ecosystem is by creating a truly low cost, versatile and powerful development kit. This aligns with the Sigfox value proposition: low cost, simple and streamlined connectivity. The simplicity is further enhanced via our easy 4-step set up process which allows users to register online and get immediate access to a year of free Sigfox connectivity. “

The Xkit will be presented and demonstrated by Kade Miller at Kydo in Melbourne on May 2nd.
