INTRODUCTION
The Wirnet iBTS gateway is part of the global Long Range Radio fixed network to provide
M2M connectivity link between low power end-point and Internet access.
The gateway architecture is specifically designed for the needs of public networks operators.
Figure 1: LoRa Network topology
The Wirnet iBTS is based on “Next Generation LoRa” technology provided by Semtech
Company. It is compatible and interoperable with existing LoRa LPWAN and offers GPS-free
geolocalization features compatibility.
Wirnet iBTS architecture is completely modular and upgradable to offer multiple
configurations to cover different countries and areas around the world:
Wirnet iBTS 868
Wirnet iBTS 915
Wirnet iBTS FDx
Wirnet iBTS 923
