This development kit is intended to allow engineers to evaluate the Sigfox technology, with a view to eventually incorporating the technology into a product design.
Persons handling the evaluation kit must have electronics training and observe good engineering practice standards. This development kit is capable to emit and receive radio frequencies at programmable frequency and power level settings and additional functionality. As such, the kit being provided is not intended to be complete in terms of design-, marketing-, and/or manufacturing-related protective considerations, including product safety and environmental measures typically found in end products that incorporate such semiconductor components or circuit boards or radiocommunications compliance regulations.
This development kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY and is not a finished end-product fit for end use therefore do not meet the technical requirements of ACMA or RSM standards or any other regulations, including marking.
It is the responsibility of the recipient to ensure compliance with Australian, New Zealand and Hong Kong standards and regulations associated with its use as evaluation kit.

Based on the Sigfox Wisol module (WSSFM10), which is pin-to-pin compatible for each region:
- RCZ1 – Europe
- RCZ2 – USA/Mexico/Brazil/Canada
- RCZ3- Japan
- RCZ4- Australia/New Zealand/South East Asia/Rest of South America
Consequentyly:
- Offer worldwide reach with one devkit (via 4 variants)
- One hardware layout (reduce costs)
- Firmware independent from the Sigfox zones (simplicity)
- Same support and service in each of the zones


The Thinxtra shield can be used with:
- Microchip development kit
- Arduino Uno R3 board or equivalent (included)
- ST Microelectronics Nucleo development board
- Freescale development board
Via USB port, the shield can also be plugged into:
