We are presenting a new version of the indoor station, which is the Kerlink Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution station. The station is a development of the well-known and popular Wirnet iFemtocell - the new model has abandoned the built-in WiFi module in favour of the 3G / 4G modem. Both indoor stations are produced in parallel to ensure full versatility for various project scenarios.
Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution is equipped with an internal 3G / 4G modem. Thanks to this, after connecting the SIM card to the device, you can start communication with the Internet via a GSM connection.
The presented gateway uses the same software as other Kerlink devices do. Thanks to this, LoRaWAN IoT network owners can reduce operating costs due to easier integration and configuration of various devices: software compatible between iBTS stations (from firmware version 4.0), iFemtocell (from firmware version 4.0), iStation. Kerlink Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution is compatible with the Wanesy Management Center (WMC) software - Kerlink's comprehensive software for easy operation, monitoring and management of the IoT network.
Kerlink Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution offers support for 8 RX channels (125 kHz, multi Spreading Factor) + 1 RX channel (250 kHz or 500 kHz, mono Spreading Factor) + 1 channel RX / TX (FSK).
The station can be powered via the AC / DC adapter (90-264VAC / 12VDC) or directly via the USB-C connector (5 V DC supply). In addition, Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution supports Kerlink Wenesy Small Private Network Version 2 (SPN2) software for private, local networks. It connects the gateway management system and the LoRaWAN network server.
The station can be used successfully in applications operating within smart cities, buildings, apartments or energy installations.
