Payload decoding of IoT & LPWAN
devices made easy
IoT devices deliver LPWAN metering data and information in encoded payloads, usually in hexadecimal format.
Paessler BitDecoder supports you in structuring, marking and decoding complex payloads.
SUPPORTED VENDOR DEVICE TEMPLATES:
Payload decoding – made simple
Paessler BitDecoder is designed as a software-as-a-service application and serves as middleware between the physical IoT device
out in the field and the desired visualization solution by decoding complex binary payloads into a human-readable format.
Ready to decode your Sigfox payloads
No-code interface allowing the selection and description of bits delivered by your Sigfox device in a visual way.
Easy-to-use decoding: No programming
No programming skills required – simple selection of your device’s type from the template list and association with your device.
Save time using
predefined templates
Paessler BitDecoder comes with many predefined templates for many devices. Save development time and effort and start decoding payloads right away.
Hosted
infrastructure
Paessler BitDecoder hosts the code for you – so no need for a dedicated machine and its maintenance.
How Paessler BitDecoder works
Why Paessler BitDecoder?
Payload decoding
Today’s reality: You need a skilled programmer to write the decoding functionality and the code needs to be hosted on a dedicated machine that needs maintenance from time to time. Additionally, you have to manually configure the Sigfox callbacks and integrations into third-party systems.
Paessler BitDecoder transforms payloads in hexadecimal notation bit by bit into a more human-readable format.
Integration & forwarding
Paessler BitDecoder can send your data directly to an endpoint of your choice. You can send the data to an Azure IoT Hub, an AWS IoT Core, PRTG Network Monitor, and more, or create your own HTTP or MQTT integration for your endpoint.
Of course, Paessler BitDecoder also forwards the data for further storage and processing.
Code & storage
Paessler BitDecoder delivers the decoded payload in JSON format. The entire solution is designed as a software-as-a-service application and serves as middleware between your physical IoT device out in the field and your desired visualization solution.
Decoded data is processed and forwarded, but never stored.
Paessler BitDecoder & Sigfox

Easy Sigfox backend integration
Before a Sigfox-enabled device can go into operation, specific callbacks must be manually defined in the Sigfox backend.
Paessler BitDecoder also helps you with creating these Sigfox callbacks.
All you need are your Sigfox credentials.
