If you're skeptical about LPWAN range claims .. better thing to do is to test :) We (Sigfox) are running a hackathon in SF on Nov 20th, in partnership with the City. Good occasion to test the live network, and get your hands on a dev kit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/smart-city-iot-hackathon-connect-your-city-tickets-19092263474 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/smart-city-iot-hackathon-connec...

Oh man... Unfortunately I'm going to be out of the country during that or I would be ALL OVER IT. Those dev kits are pricey... Is this the one? http://snootlab.com/shields-snootlab/829-.html http://snootlab.com/shields-snootlab/829-.html

  In the SF event we'll hand out TI dev kits, Launchpad + CC1120 boosterpack (~ http://www.ti.com/tool/boostxl-cc1120-90 http://www.ti.com/tool/boostxl-cc1120-90) The Akeru board is still quite expensive (€100), as it's a full Arduino/Genuino board + sigfox module + subscription. And the guy is producing them himself, with small batches. This one is not FCC-ready yet anyway. Keep in touch for future US-based events !
