gateway, the Wirnet Station has been
chosen for thousands of installations worldwide by
public operators, cable operators, private businesses,
and public authorities. It has set new standards
for robust, reliable, high-performance operation;
an upgraded successor, the Wirnet iStation, was
introduced in 2019.
Humanitarian Benefits of IoT
"This unique and vital use case underscores the
humanitarian benefits that the IoT can support," said
Stéphane Dejean, Kerlink's chief marketing officer.
"Because the UNHCR sensor-to-gateway-to-platform
system provides critical life support for large numbers
of people, there's a very high need for trustworthiness
and reliability.
"At the same time, the projects' remote locations and
minimal staffing also demanded a true carrier-grade
solution with quick, easy integration and deployment,
and secure and straightforward administration,"
he said. "We're gratified by our Wirnet Station's
performance under harsh conditions and honored to
work with UNHCR – their work reflects our values and
commitments towards society and the environment,
and we look forward to continuing to provide expertise
on the next round of projects."
