SIGFOX in sports and live weather map!
At SIGFOX we're seeing more and more startups launch connected solutions for sports. Affordable weather stations for paragliders and kite surfers, small tracking devices for ultra-race runners & sports airplanes and helicopters. I'm excited to see how these existing application categories are disrupted so that they can finally be deployed in much larger volume and therefore reach a larger audience. The Internet of Things for sports is taking off big time!
Check out a few examples of solutions that use SIGFOX in sports:
- French startup CAPTURS are building a solution that they have for now tested on light aircrafts and helicopters. Read more about their tests and the results here (article in French). CAPTURS have also tested their solution for ultra-running races, as presented in this article (in French) for a race in the Pyrenees.
- Pioupiou is an amazing weather station for mountain sports and kite surfing spots. Check out this map showing live weather data from around Europe!
There are other great solutions for sports using SIGFOX and the list keeps expanding. Let me know if you are building a solution within this space, we would love to hear more!
