On-Site Team Will Detail the Series’ Embedded iEdge-Computing Capabilities at Intelligent Building Systems Trade Show, Oct. 14 to 15, 2026, at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles
Kerlink (ALKLK – FR0013156007), a global specialist in LoRaWAN® networking solutions, announced its launch of two versions of Wirnet™ iEdge, its latest indoor LoRaWAN® edge gateway engineered to transform building management and industrial automation. Designed to connect, process and integrate sensor data directly with building management systems (BMS) and IoT platforms, Wirnet™ iEdge and Wirnet™ iEdge+ represent a significant advancement in smart building technology.
‘Empowers Users to Deploy Customized Solutions’
The Wirnet™ iEdge series, which includes optional 4G/5G cellular backhaul, goes beyond legacy connectivity by embedding edge-computing capabilities directly in the gateway. Powered by an industrial-grade Cortex-A35 CPU, the device can host vertically oriented frameworks and on-site applications, enabling real-time data processing, protocol conversion and local decision-making without cloud dependency.
“This is where the ‘iEdge’ name truly earns its place,” said Yann Bauduin, Kerlink’s chief sales officer. “We’ve built an open platform that empowers customers and partners to deploy customized solutions tailored to their specific building and industrial requirements.”
Meet Kerlink’s Team at IBS Exhibition in Porte de Versailles
Kerlink invites industry professionals to discover the Wirnet™ iEdge devices at the Intelligent Building Systems (IBS) exhibition in Porte de Versailles, Oct. 14 to 15 at Booth K37. William Gouesbet, chairman and CEO, will lead a team of company experts on hand to detail the range’s advantages and applications.
The indoor gateway is Kerlink’s second major product expansion this year. In March, the company launched its new-generation Wirnet™ iStation M2 outdoor gateway, which supports Kerlink’s widely used smart city, smart metering and smart agriculture & environment applications. Moreover, to ensure reliable service in extremely remote terrain, such as mines and islands, an optional solar power package can be added to provide full energy autonomy.
“Kerlink’s recent product introductions coincide with growth in some of our key markets,” Gouesbet explained. “Private operators, particularly in the smart building and industry segments, are demonstrating sustained demand for our products.”
The Wirnet™ iEdge series addresses critical market needs driven by European energy-efficiency regulations targeting significant consumption reductions in existing buildings by 2030. The gateway enables deployment of monitoring and automation solutions without costly additional wiring infrastructure.
Key Application Areas Include:
- Smart building and building management systems
- Energy monitoring and optimization
- HVAC control systems
- Occupancy tracking
- Air quality management
- Predictive maintenance
- Seamless Integration with Building Automation.
For smart building professionals, the Wirnet™ iEdge offers extensive protocol support including BACnet, Modbus and MQTT. The gateway connects LoRaWAN® sensors directly to BMS platforms, PLCs and controllers such as Java Application Control Engine (JACE) through BACnet over Ethernet. Industrial applications benefit from Modbus integration for connecting sensor data to existing automation systems.
The product also demonstrates compatibility with the Niagara Framework®, a widely adopted building management platform. Backhaul options include Ethernet and 4G cellular connections for flexible deployment scenarios.
Raising the Bar vs. Existing Products
The Wirnet™ iEdge series distinguishes itself from both Kerlink’s existing portfolio and competing indoor gateways through several key factors:
- True Edge Computing: Industrial-grade processing resources to host and run applications directly on the gateway
- Open Platform Architecture: Third-party, application-hosting capability for tailored customer solutions
- Security: The series is secured “by design,” embedding the newest KEROS v7 firmware, which offers the full set of features, including RED-cyber compliance
- Radio Performance: Kerlink’s proven network reliability and outstanding wireless performance
- Industrial Design: Purpose-built enclosure for electrical cabinets and building automation environments
- Lifetime Guarantee: The series comes with Kerlink’s lifetime warranty.
About Edge+:
- Enhanced edge computing capabilities supporting a large range of applications (e.g.: an embedded LNS + a BMS framework)
- More memory and storage capacity
- Dual-core CPU.
“The lifetime guarantee reflects our confidence in the product’s durability and performance,” said Pierre Savary, key account manager serving the smart building and smart industry markets. “Combined with our easy and ergonomic client interface, we’re delivering enterprise-grade reliability that customers expect.”
The Wirnet™ iEdge will be distributed through Kerlink’s global network of distributors. Initial availability targets EMEA markets, followed by expansion into North America, Latin America and Asia-Pacific markets.
