Thinxtra to launch IoT network in Hong Kong
Australian infrastructure provider Thinxtra is set to launch a Sigfox low-power wide-area (LPWA) internet of things (IoT) network in Hong Kong. The move is Thinxtra's first foray into the Asian market, and will see the firm lend IoT support to the metropolis as it pivots towards being a smart city. Murray Hankinson, managing director for Thinxtra in Asia, said the LPWA network, which could include smart car parks, would be low-cost and have a lifespan of up to 10 years.

The Australian company will deploy a low-power wide-area (LPWA) network allowing devices to connect with minimal energy use
