Kerlink Introduces New LoRaWAN(r) Gateway with 3G/4G Backhaul for Indoor
Coverage and Network Densification

Wirnet(TM) iFemtoCell-evolution 'Pushes the Limits of Possibilities' for Smart
Cities and Smart Buildings

PRESS RELEASE

Thorigné-Fouillard, France - Sept. 24th, 2019, 6pm - Kerlink (AKLK -
FR0013156007), a specialist in solutions dedicated to the Internet of Things
(IoT), today announced the latest member of its i-series LoRaWAN(r) gateway
line targeting use cases in smart cities, smart buildings, and other digital
applications that require dedicated indoor coverage and/or network
densification, operational excellence and built-in 3G/4G backhaul.

Wirnet(TM) iFemtoCell-evolution leverages the same software as Kerlink's Wirnet
iBTS, iStation, and iFemtoCell equipment, a synergy that allows LoRaWAN(r) IoT
network owners to reduce operational costs thanks to a simpler integration and
a unique user experience. This new gateway offers a more intuitive design and
is also supported by the Wanesy(TM) Management Center (aka WMC), Kerlink's
comprehensive software suite for easy operations, monitoring, and management of
IoT networks.

Kerlink's addition of 3G/4G-backhaul connectivity is a popular choice for
flexible data transport to cloud-based applications in multiple geographies. It
enhances cellular connectivity versatility and proposes an alternative option
in countries where 3G is inadequate or is being decommissioned.

This new LoRaWAN gateway also offers flexible power options, mixing a90-
264VAC/12VDC power supply with jack connector provided, a 5VDCpower/USB-C and
an uninterrupted power supply granting 24h autonomy (accessory), to cover a
wide range of field use-cases.

In an additional effort to power small private networks, Wirnet
iFemtoCell-evolution supports Kerlink Wanesy Small Private Network Version 2
(aka SPN2), a software that bundles of a LoRaWAN gateway management system and
a LoRaWAN network server. Together this combination forms a turnkey solution
with an edge integrated architecture, designed by Kerlink experts, with no
compromise on reliability, robustness, and security to meet industrial-grade
requirements.

"The Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution pushes the limits of possibilities for robust
and flexible indoor IoT networks while remaining notably simple in terms of
deployment," said Jean-Philippe BALBERDE, Innovative Products and Solutions
Marketing Manager. "It meets the requirements of today and tomorrow's LoRaWAN
IoT networks: quick integration, fast deployment and easy day-to-day
administration."

This new gateway enriches the possibilities of deployments using the Wirnet
i-series and empowers users to deploy ambitious IoT applications mixing indoor
and outdoor use-cases, along with different backhauling options.

Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution is the second new Wirnet i-series carrier-grade
gateway introduced by Kerlink this summer. Wirnet iStation, announced in June,
is designed for outdoor LoRaWAN network deployments and delivers 4G backhaul
connectivity with fully integrated internal antennas and meets customer
requirements for quick-and-easy outdoor LoRaWAN IoT network deployment and
management.

Designed for indoor LoRaWAN small private network deployments anywhere in the
world, Wirnet iFemtoCell- evolution supports multiple ISM bands, such as
868Mhz, 915Mhz, and 923Mhz, and is certified by key regulatory agencies in
Europe (CE), the U.S. (FCC), Canada (IC), and South Korea (KC), and in other
countries.

All the i-series gateways bring market-leading unique software and hardware
architectures to secure and protect the IoT networks: Gateway protection (using
ProvenRun's SecureBoot(TM) for software authentication and permanent integrity
control), data and communications security (using ProvenRun's SecureStorage(TM)
to protect assets at rest, keys and secrets), and solution resilience (using
Kerlink Operating System, fully monitored by Kerlink's WMC).
