Data from the Internet of Things Observatory of the Polytechnic of Milan
The Internet of Things is now a consolidated reality in Italy. According to data collected by the Internet of Things Observatory of the Polytechnic of Milan, the market is healthy and continues to grow by +13% compared to 2021, reaching 8.3 billion euros, despite the problems due to the shortage of raw materials and semiconductors, as well as the economic and political instability of the conflict in Ukraine. In 2022, there were 124 million IoT connections active in Italy, of which 68% were represented by connections enabled by non-cellular technologies. Among these, Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) emerge, growing significantly by +20% reaching 2.4 million connections and increasingly becoming a point of reference for the technological evolution of the IoT world.
Sigfox 0G technology is placed precisely in the category of LPWAN networks, specifically designed to efficiently collect data from sensors distributed across the territory.
