Collaboration with Sigfox paves way for leading
wireless test provider to accelerate go-to-market for IoT
devices
LitePoint, a leading provider of wireless test solutions,
announced that its IQxel family of testers has been validated by
Sigfox for testing of Internet of Things (IoT) devices that are
compatible with its LPWA technology.
Sigfox is the world’s leading provider of connectivity for the
Internet of Things. The company has built a global network to
connect billions of devices to the Internet while consuming as
little energy as possible, as simply as possible. Sigfox’s network
is already present in more than 30 countries, and on track to be in
60 countries by the end of 2018.
Thanks to this collaboration, device manufacturers can now use
the IQxel-M to perform manufacturing tests of Sigfox-enabled IoT
devices. They will also have a pre-certification tool ready-to use,
enabling them to quickly design and qualify the modem of their IoT
device. Furthermore, the LitePoint solution can be used to run
certification testing as part of the Sigfox Verified™ certification
program.
“IoT systems have a great need for high-quality RF at the lowest
possible cost, which the cost effective and comprehensive IQxel-M
delivers,” said Adam Smith, Director of Product Marketing at
LitePoint. “The IQxel-M is an ideal solution to enable Sigfox’s
partners to meet their growth plans for 2018.”
Raoul Mallart, CTO of Sigfox said, “We are pleased to welcome
LitePoint in our global ecosystem of partners. Their cost-effective
IQxel-M solution will contribute to simplify and accelerate the
mass production of Sigfox compatible devices worldwide.”
Technical Highlights
The IQxel-M manufacturing and certification test solution is
available today. IQxel-M is a comprehensive, one-box test solution

multiple technologies (Multicom™).
