Kerlink Connects with Leading Turkish IoT Network Provider To Accelerate
Adoption of LoRa(r) Technology in Eurasia
PRESS RELEASE
Thorigné-Fouillard, France - July 19, 2018, 06:00 p.m. CET - Kerlink (ALKLK -
FR0013156007), a specialist and global leader in solutions dedicated to the
Internet of Things (IoT), today announced plans to expand its presence in
Turkey, in partnership with the nationwide IoT network-solutions distributor,
NetOP Technology.
The Turkish company designs and manufactures more than 60 types of low-power,
wide-area network (LPWAN) sensors, and provides end-to-end IoT solutions for
vertical markets with its hardware and software. NetOP Technology's sensors
support an extensive range of applications in industrial control, logistics,
smart buildings, smart cities, smart agriculture, smart health care and other
widely used IoT applications.
"Previously, we have had to decline some IoT business opportunities because
available solutions did not meet the users' needs for device battery life,
data-transmission range and connectivity fees," said Olcay Taysi, NetOP's CEO.
"LoRa(r) technology overcomes these challenges and enables us to support
projects in all the key applications that Turkish industry and cities are ready
to launch. We have validated Kerlink gateways and solutions with the NetOP
sensor family in a plug-and-play system that will help our customers to quickly
begin experiencing the benefits of the IoT."
"NetOP has an innovative business model, with patented technologies, that
connects thousands of IoT devices for companies, cities and farmers," said
Ermeline Lebon, head of Kerlink channel sales. "Combined with Kerlink's global
solutions, our end-to-end package will enable NetOP's customers to deploy their
own IoT networks with low capital expense."
