class Sigfox
Sigfox is a Low Power Wide Area Network protocol that enables remote devices to connect
using ultra-narrow band, UNB technology. The protocol is bi-directional, messages can both
be sent up to and down from the Sigfox servers.
When operating in
RCZ2
and
RCZ4
the module can only send messages on the default
macro-channel (this is due to Sigfox network limitations). Therefore, the device needs to
reset automatically to the default macro-channel after every 2 transmissions. However,
due to FCC duty cycle limitations, there must a minimum of a 20s delay after resetting to
the default macro-channel. Our API takes care of this, (and in real life applications you
should not be in the need to send Sigfox messages that often), so it will wait for the
necessary amount of time to make sure that the duty cycle restrictions are fulfilled.
This means that if you run a piece of test code like:
for i in range( 1 , 100 ):
# send something
s.send( 'Hello ' + str(i))
There will be a 20 second delay after every 2 packets.
This class provides a driver for the Sigfox network processor in the Sigfox enabled Pycom
devices.
