Wirnet iStation M2 LoRaWAN Gateway 

The ultra-low-power outdoor 8 channels LoRaWAN gateway 

The Wirnet iStation M2 is Kerlink’s next-generation outdoor LoRaWAN gateway, built to deliver reliable, long-range IoT connectivity in demanding environments. 

Taking the proven strengths of the Wirnet™ iStation a step further, the M2 introduces new capabilities that make it an even more robust and scalable gateway for any outdoor IoT project: 

  • Ultra-low energy consumption and native solar compatibility, enabling autonomous deployments in locations where power is limited or unavailable: water metering sites, mining areas, island regions… 
  • Edge computing capabilities powered by an upgraded 64-bit i.MX8 CPU and 1GB RAM, for local data processing and reduced latency,
  • Enhanced radio performance with the Semtech SX1302 LoRa core, offering faster modulation and higher network capacity so the gateway can handle more messages and more connected devices, 
  • Flexible backhaul options to match different infrastructures and budgets: 4G/5G, Ethernet (PoE) and WiFi, 
  • Plug-and-play activation enabled by zero-touch provisioning, keeping installation simple and fast. 

 

Designed and manufactured in France, the Wirnet iStation M2 reflects Kerlink’s focus on quality, durability and operational excellence, making it a trusted choice for operators, utilities and integrators looking to expand their IoT networks with confidence.
