What UnaBiz does

UnaBiz is a Singapore-headquartered massive IoT service provider founded in 2016 that designs, manufactures, and connects low-power wide-area (LPWA) devices for enterprise customers worldwide. The company owns the Sigfox 0G technology platform and operates the world's largest 0G LPWA network through 70+ national IoT Solution Providers, supporting 14M+ connected devices across 1,500 B2B customers in smart metering, asset tracking, cold chain, facilities management, and security verticals.

The technology stack is built around multi-connectivity (Sigfox 0G, LoRaWAN, LTE-M, NB-IoT, and satellite) and a proprietary cloud platform called UnaConnect, which handles device management, message decoding, geolocation, firmware-over-the-air updates, and enterprise system integration via GraphQL and RESTful APIs. UnaBiz also offers custom hardware design and manufacturing services, exemplified by products such as the Space Hotaru smart gas meter reader (1.7M+ units deployed with NICIGAS in Japan) and the IceConnect cold chain sensor (38,000+ units with Loca Service across European retailers).

Revenue is generated through four streams: hardware device sales (proprietary and partner IoT devices), recurring connectivity services leveraging the Sigfox 0G network and cellular partnerships, UnaConnect platform subscriptions, and custom integration and professional services. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales for large multi-country deployments with a channel-driven model through the 70+ national operators and regional offices in Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, France, and Spain.
