Kerlink, a specialist in solutions dedicated to the Internet of Things (IoT), and Objenious (Bouygues Telecom IoT Business Unit), have announced that Kerlink’s Low Power IoT Reference Design has been certified on Objenious’s LoRaWAN network.

Objenious, Bouygues Telecom’s brand dedicated to the Internet of Things, supports all businesses and communities in their digital transformation through offers and services based on its LoRaWAN, 2G, 3G, 4G and soon 5G networks.

Kerlink LP IoT Reference Design is a complete package of hardware, software, tools, and recommendations for prototyping and producing final products easily and quickly. It offers end-device designers, software developers, architects, and operation engineers step-by-step directions for quickly conceiving and producing IoT connected devices that offer high performance and resilience, low-energy consumption, optimised radio performance, robustness, and reliability in the field, based on the latest specifications and standards.

Objenious’s certification is a technical validation of the proper functioning of sensors based on this reference design on its LoRaWAN networks. Engineers from Objenious provide recognised and strong expertise, including intensive RF tests. Device makers who are developing sensors for French IoT networks will accelerate their time-to-market because they will be assured that their devices will be automatically pre-certified on Objenious networks.

“Third-party validation of Kerlink’s products and solutions is a pillar of our business model because it assures our customers and distribution partners of Kerlink offerings’ reliability and robustness,” said Guillaume Boisgontier, Kerlink’s innovative products & solutions marketing manager. “Receiving the Objenious network certification is another step in our day-to-day mission to help LoRaWAN device makers focus on their own expertise with confidence in our products’ radio performance and connectivity.”

“With this step forward, we accelerate and send a strong and clear message to the LoRaWAN ecosystem and partners. We aim to facilitate and increase the ROI of our LoRaWAN partners by reducing notably time to market,” said Bernardo Cabrera, head of the Bouygues Telecom Business Unit for IoT (Objenious).

“Kerlink’s reference design certification and inclusion in Objenious’s catalog offers LoRaWAN device makers, solution makers, and integrators a proven and complementary solution for simple, reliable, and cost-effective deployments. They can rely on Objenious expertise and offer by ordering this Kerlink product directly from our catalog. Our customers have thus the confidence and the assurance of acquiring a fully tested, validated, and certified solution.”

Kerlink’s reference design is certified by the LoRa Alliance, the world’s fastest-growing technology alliance. The non-profit association of more than 500 member companies is committed to enabling large-scale deployment of Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) for the IoT through the development and promotion of the LoRaWAN open standard global certification. Kerlink and Objenious are founding members of the alliance.
