UnaBiz is a global IoT service leader that specializes in designing sensors, manufacturing devices, and powering them with smart data platforms across diverse, low-power networks. The company supports businesses in sectors like utilities, smart city infrastructure, logistics, security, and environmental monitoring. It does so by combining multiple wireless technologies such as Sigfox 0G, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE-M, cellular and satellite into comprehensive, efficient solutions. UnaBiz has deployed more than 14 million devices for over 1,500 B2B customers worldwide, making it a trusted enabler of scalable IoT adoption.
The company is based in Singapore.
Early Inspirations and Bold Moves
Henri Bong’s journey began in France, where being Chinese-educated exposed him to differing cultural norms and sparked a desire to bridge East and West. Leaving a solid role in the French Trade Commission, he set out to introduce Sigfox’s 0G technology to Asia. Henri recalls that he felt a calling to build something from the ground up, something that would connect businesses across continents through technology. That conviction propelled him toward founding UnaBiz in 2016.
From those first steps, he and his team focused on delivering simple, durable IoT systems, solutions that could thrive on minimal energy, low cost, and easy implementation.

Designing From the Ground Up
Making IoT tangible starts with devices that simply work. UnaBiz’s ready-to-use portfolio includes trackers like UnaTag, UnaBell smart buttons, and sensors for air quality, cold chains, and smart gas meters. These tools are characterized by their rugged build and energy efficiency, built to support rapid deployment with minimal fuss.
But for Henri, design extends beyond hardware. Every project starts by choosing the right network for the use case. UnaBiz remains technology-agnostic, selecting the best fit, whether Sigfox’s 0G, LoRaWAN, cellular or satellite, to match capacity, range, cost, and environmental constraints.
The Logic Behind Convergence
Henri saw early that no single LPWAN technology sufficed for all needs. His vision centered on what he calls convergence, a frictionless blending of multiple networks across the IoT value chain, from devices to middleware. UnaBiz has brought this vision to life by integrating Sigfox with LoRaWAN and working with partners across the ecosystem to unify network access and roaming.
The company’s middleware platform, UnaConnect, ties it all together. It enables customers to manage fleets of sensors across different networks via one secure and scalable gateway that decodes messages, updates devices, and integrates data into client systems. The service is both simple and cost effective, ten times cheaper than traditional solutions for large scale deployments.
Real-World IoT That Adds Up
UnaBiz has an impressive slate of success stories. In utilities, smart gas, water and power deployments demonstrate real-time data collection to drive operational efficiencies. Cold-chain monitoring helps businesses meet temperature regulation with industrial trackers that reduce costs. Logistics firms use asset tracking to keep tabs on returnable packaging, and smart facilities use UnaBiz’s sensors to monitor air quality, waste, parking, and even rodent activity.
These are not trials. They are large-scale, live systems that show how IoT can convert messy setups into smart, lightweight solutions that scale with reliability.
A Leadership Style Rooted in Diversity
Henri leads UnaBiz with a global mindset grounded in diversity. The company operates in Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, France, Spain, and the Netherlands, and is staffed by engineers and thinkers of varied nationalities. This cultural blend feeds into innovation, shapes partnership strategies, and reinforces the company’s mission to simplify while scaling IoT across borders
The Promise of a Unified IoT World
Henri’s vision remains steady and bold. He wants UnaBiz to act as the backbone of a truly unified IoT world, where any device can connect on any network and data flows securely across borders. LoRaWAN hybrids, roaming capabilities, multi-protocol devices, these will drop complexity rather than add to it.
By marrying diverse networks with intelligent middleware and thoughtful hardware, UnaBiz is helping make the IoT smarter, more accessible, and undeniably more powerful.
A Partner, Not Just a Platform
UnaBiz has become more than a service provider. It is a design house, integrator, and full-stack partner in IoT transformation. Its devices are pragmatic, its connectivity fluid, and its cloud platform robust. When customers ask what matters most, Henri’s answer remains consistent: solutions that just work, one sensor, one platform, one unified network conversation at a time.
