Kerlink and Actility, two leading IoT solution providers, have teamed up to transform IoT connectivity. Their goal is to revolutionize the development of the LoRaWAN® ecosystem by integrating their offerings through a strategic partnership.
Kerlink and Actility are leading providers of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, offering cutting-edge technology and innovative services to enable efficient IoT deployments worldwide. Kerlink specializes in providing robust, scalable, and easy-to-integrate IoT connectivity solutions, including hardware, software, and services.
Actility, on the other hand, focuses on providing IoT platforms and solutions that enable businesses to connect devices, collect data, and manage networks efficiently. Together, Kerlink and Actility provide end-to-end IoT solutions that empower businesses to optimize operations, enhance customer experiences, and drive innovation across various industries, including smart cities, agriculture, logistics, and utilities.
This collaboration involves combining Kerlink’s WirnetTM iFemtoCell and WirnetTM iStation gateway suites, which are known for their easy-to-use edge solutions and gateways with a lifetime guarantee, with Actility’s ThingParkTM All-in-One (TAO) platform. This integration allows for the deployment and management of LPWANs in a unified, scalable, and flexible infrastructure.
By leveraging their respective strengths, the enhanced solution features a LoRaWAN® Network Server (LNS), payload decoders, and application connectors in a single device, making it easier to deploy LoRaWAN® networks for IoT applications. The partnership’s practical application extends to industrial asset management, where TAO enables predictive maintenance by monitoring machinery with vibration sensors.
This proactive approach helps in early detection of potential failures, leading to significantly reduced downtime and maintenance costs. The collaboration between these French innovators in LoRaWAN® technology aims to offer a comprehensive and future-proof solution for businesses looking to utilize LoRaWAN® for connectivity and innovation.
By simplifying network deployment and lowering costs across various sectors, the partnership enables efficient and scalable IoT applications. Furthermore, it positions both companies competitively in the LoRaWAN® arena, emphasizing simplicity, operational efficiency, and adaptability to future technological advancements.
Olivier Hersent, the CEO of Actility, stressed the importance of this partnership in influencing the direction of IoT connectivity. He emphasized the smooth transition from individual gateways to expansive, multi-location installations, enabling customers to convert data into actionable information effortlessly.
Yann Bauduin, the Chief Sales Officer of Kerlink, highlighted the strategic change enabled by collaborating with Actility, boosting the effectiveness of Kerlink’s gateways and providing a comprehensive, user-friendly solution with an edge-computing strategy.
