Kerlink Unveils Wirnet(TM) iBTS 64 Highway at Mobile World Congress Americas

True carrier-grade IoT gateway offers market-leading 72 receiving channels with
best in class extensive onboard security, excellent scalability and robust
design

PRESS RELEASE

Los Angeles, California - Sept. 13, 2018, 09:00 a.m. CET - Kerlink (ALKLK -
FR0013156007), a specialist and global leader in solutions dedicated to the
Internet of Things (IoT), announces today that the new Wirnet(TM) iBTS 64
Highway carrier-grade gateway for public and private IoT networks will be
available for viewing at this week's Mobile World Congress Americas (MWCA)
event in Los Angeles, California, giving attendees a first-hand look at the
unit's market-leading channel capacity and robust engineering for convenient,
reliable and secure IoT connectivity and operation in demanding installations.

Like Kerlink's entire line of Wirnet iBTS products, the Wirnet iBTS 64 Highway
leverages a patent-protected modular architecture to provide unmatched
functionality and operational convenience. The company drew on four years of
in-field experience with top-tier network providers to make the new gateway
easy to integrate and maintain, while also offering superior performance
built-in cavity duplexers to ensure outstanding interference rejection, while
72 receive channels (64 x 125kHz and 8 x 500kHz) and 8 dedicated transmit
channels grant full availability and scalability even in intensive smart-city
and smart-industry deployments.

Initial units are slated for customer delivery in October 2018. The Wirnet iBTS
64 Highway will also be shortly available as part of a turnkey end-to-end IoT
network-as-a-service connectivity package, as announced earlier this year.

"There's no substitute for the hands-on education we've received by delivering
and supporting over 100,000 gateways with more than 330 clients in every part
of the world," said Carlos Briceno, Kerlink's vice president- America. "We've
come to understand all the requirements for a truly carrier-grade solution,
during up-front implementation and integration and day-to-day operation, and
they are all reflected in the Wirnet iBTS 64 Highway."

These include key security features like a secure-core and secure-bootstrap
software-enhancing security link, and secured backhaul and signed firmware
management with OpenVPN and IPSec support. The system allows for secure reboot
(watchdog) and recovery on previous configuration (or factory configuration if
a boot issue is not fixed).

The iBTS 64 Highway can serve as a full-duplex, carrier-grade LoRaWAN(TM)
gateway, delivering improved geolocation with reliable finer timestamping
across 64 channels to make the most of Kerlink Wanesy Geolocation solution. In
addition, the station's software-designed radio (SDR) has been designed to
accommodate future, evolutive changes in LoRaWAN technology, like full
compatibility with LoRa-e.

Also incorporated are robust lightning protection and back-up batteries, and
superior energy efficiency than currently available solutions, which result in
both lower electricity bills and improved heat dissipation for enhanced
reliability and constant optimal performances

Integration of the Wirnet iBTS 64 Highway into broader networks and
multi-partner vertical applications is facilitated by Kerlink's Wanesy
Management Center toolset for network design, provisioning, maintenance, and
operation. This enables fast rollouts and reduced time to market, along with
remote configuration, management, software upgrades, and
monitoring/troubleshooting capabilities for constant optimized performances and
managed scalability.

Kerlink will be exhibiting in MWCA as part of the LoRa Alliance Pavilion,
September 12 - 14.
