UnaBiz aims to unleash billions of buttons with Sigfox IoT network

Inspired by the pay-per-click business model, UnaBiz unveiled the pay-per-use smart button powered by Sigfox, a provider of global IoT connectivity. With a subscription model as low as €1.00 per month(US$ 1.05 per month) per device for businesses, consumers can now connect with businesses and transact at the push of a button.

UnaBiz is an end-to-end Internet of Things (IoT) solutions company dedicated to accelerating the adoption of IoT worldwide. As the exclusive network operator of Sigfox’s low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) in Singapore and Taiwan, UnaBiz is the first IoT-dedicated network operator in Asia to roll out a nationwide IoT network.

“It might sound like a step back, digitally speaking. Ridiculous, even. But how many shopping applications do you have on your mobile? How much times do you typically spend launching an app, logging in, searching for the products and services you need, before finally entering your payment and delivery information to make your intended purchase? Now imagine if this entire process is collapsed into a single action, at the press of a button,” said Henri Bong, CEO & founder of UnaBiz.

The pay-per-use smart button will not be limited to consumer packaged goods (CPG). It will range from restocking everyday essentials to service requests, such as the ordering of room service, taxi, courier, valet, and maintenance requests for bathrooms, vehicle towing, vending machines refills, security deployment, and even emergency calls, all at the press of a button.
