Kerlink LoRaWAN(r) Gateways Are AWS-Qualified Devices
For New AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN(r)
AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN Provides a Plug-and-Play Experience that Accelerates
and Simplifies LoRa(r) Network Deployment

PRESS RELEASE

Thorigné-Fouillard, France - Dec. 16, 2020, 8:30 a.m. CEST - Kerlink (AKLK -
FR0013156007), a specialist in solutions dedicated to the Internet of Things
(IoT), today announced that its LoRaWAN gateways are certified to support the
new AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN, a new feature from Amazon Web Services (AWS) for
AWS IoT Core that simplifies deployment of LoRaWAN private networks.

Anchored in the AWS IoT Core suite of offerings, AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN
includes a LoRa(r) Network Server and a managed cloud service that let
connected devices easily and securely interact with cloud applications and
other devices, while processing and routing their messages to AWS endpoints and
to other devices. The platform enables applications to keep track of and
communicate with all of a network's devices continuously, even when they aren't
connected.

AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN is a fully managed feature that enables network owners
to connect their wireless devices that use low-power, long-range wide-area
networks (LoRaWAN) without developing or operating a LoRa Network Server (LNS)
themselves. This eliminates the undifferentiated development work and
operational burden of setting up and managing an LNS and associated
infrastructure. These benefits enable enterprise customers to more easily and
quickly connect and secure LoRaWAN device fleets at scale and accelerate IoT
application development, in multiple vertical markets.

AWS customers who use AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN can choose network components
from the LoRa Alliance's certified products catalog, including Kerlink's
industrial-grade network products. Three Kerlink references also have been
qualified by AWS: the robust, Wirnet(TM) iStation outdoor gateway and the
Wirnet(TM) iFemtoCell and Wirnet(TM) iFemtoCell-Evolution indoor gateways.

As a co-founder and board member of the LoRa Alliance(r), Kerlink is an IoT
pioneer. The company introduced the world's first commercially available
LoRaWAN gateway, the Wirnet(TM) Station, in 2014 and helped launch LoRaWAN, a
Low Power, Wide Area (LPWA) networking protocol that wirelessly connects
battery-operated devices to the Internet in customized networks serving all the
major IoT vertical markets.

To give developers and early adopters a complete taste of the powerful
combination of AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN and Kerlink's leading end-to-end
hardware and software connectivity solutions, a dedicated LoRaWAN Starter Kit
has been specifically designed for this launch, available in 915 MHz (North
America) and 868 MHz (EMEA) versions, and in limited quantities on
Amazon.com.

The kit will include:

* An AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN-ready Wirnet iFemtoCell indoor gateway,

* A WAL-e LoRaWAN end-device including an embedded application sending LoRaWAN
  frames to the network - like motion sensing and environmental measurements,
  and

* Preconfigured access to the Kerlink advanced Gateway Management System (a
  subset of its Wanesy(TM) Management Center -- WMC) to remotely access
  gateways to handle all kinds of actions, such as configuration, monitoring
  and updating.

Buyers will benefit from an all-inclusive offer to discover the entire Kerlink
connectivity chain in the AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN environment. This will offer
a plug-and-play experience that reduces device onboarding friction, accelerates
IoT application development and reduces the need to provide technical
assistance to internal teams building applications on top.

Customers can register the gateways with AWS IoT Core by providing each
gateway's unique identifier and selecting the LoRa(r) radio frequency. Security
credentials will be provided by the AWS console and can be uploaded to the
gateway using Kerlink's management interface. For registering devices,
customers can input device credentials (identifiers and security keys provided
by the device vendor) on the console and follow guided defaults for specifying
device configuration.

"With AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN, this link up between the LoRa Alliance and AWS
delivers to private companies and public bodies a responsive, reliable, and
easy-to-manage solution for all the key IoT verticals, from asset monitoring
and fleet tracking to smart agriculture, smart cities and smart buildings,"
said Yannick Delibie, co-founder and deputy general manager of Kerlink, who
serves on the LoRa Alliance board of directors. "The combination of Kerlink's
gateways and market-leading WMC network monitoring & management layers delivers
the full experience of deploying and operating robust LoRaWAN connectivity in
any type of environment, and a strong complement to the AWS IoT Core for
LoRaWAN feature."

"We're delighted to enable developers and early adopters of AWS IoT Core for
LoRaWAN using Kerlink's LoRaWAN gateways and LoRaWAN starter kit," said Michael
MacKenzie, general manager of AWS IoT Connectivity and Control, Amazon Web
Services, Inc. "The applications of LoRaWAN are endless and we can't wait to
see what problems our customers can solve using these technologies and AWS
IoT."
