Can Moteino M0 communicate with the Sigfox network?

Can Moteino M0 with the RFM69 radio communicate with the Sigfox network?

Thanks!

No. AFAIK Sigfox has a proprietary protocol running on their own hardware.

According to SigFox website,
The compatible chipsets are:

Texas Instruments: CC1120, CC1125, CC1310, CC1350
Silicon Labs: EFR, EZR, SI446X
Semtech: SX1272, SX1276
OnSemi: AX8052
STMicro: Spirit 2 SPII
Microchip: ATA8520E
NXP: OL2385
M2COM: M2C8001

Note that the RFM69 uses the Semtech SX1231H module, not listed above.    Also to connect to a SigFox network your whole device needs to be certified by them and you need a paid subscription to SigFox network.

Ok. Then Moteino M0 with the RFM95 radio if it can communicate with the Sigfox network ?. If I'm not wrong, the RFM95 radio is based on the SX1276.

Thanks again!

Yes RFM95/96 are based on SX1276.

But that's strange since Sigfox is its own protocol, not based on LoRa from what I recall. Maybe I'm just misinformed or my Sigfox memory is garbled.

You're required to use the SigFox stack in order to be qualified for their network.  Apparently the stack has been ported to the devices listed on their website.  Still, there is a certification process and, I'm sure, some kind of business tie-in with their organization. Net is that you can't tie into their network with an ad hoc solution and it's one of the reasons that their network is struggling.  The bindings are at too low a level.
