Executive Summary & Core Capabilities
The Kerlink Wirnet iStation M2 is a next-generation outdoor wireless hub designed to collect information from thousands of long-range tracking sensors. Built into a completely weatherproof box, this model intercepts weak wireless signals sent by smart devices and uploads them to the internet. It is specifically designed to run on minimal power budgets, making it ideal for solar installations on remote farms, weather monitoring sites, or industrial projects.
- Solar-Powered Efficiency: Consumes an ultra-low 1.8W of power, allowing it to run continuously on off-grid solar kits even during prolonged cloudy weather.
- Multi-Network Connectivity: Connects reliably via 4G/5G cellular data, local Wi-Fi, or standard Ethernet cables.
- Built-In Protection: Housed in a rugged weatherproof shell with gas-tube surge protection against lightning spikes and electrical surges.
Powered by a 64-bit NXP i.MX 8XLite CPU with 1GB LPDDR4 RAM and 8GB eMMC flash. Utilizes an optimized Semtech SX1302 LoRa engine paired with dual SX1250 front-ends, supporting native spreading factors from SF5 to SF12 and delivering reception sensitivity.
Includes a worldwide 4G LTE / 5G cellular module with 3G/2G fallback, Wi-Fi, BLE, and a 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port. Embedded gas-tube surge protection covers RF antenna terminals, Ethernet ports, and direct DC power lines inside an IP67 aluminum/polycarbonate enclosure ( to ).
