Description
The Kerlink Wirnet™ iFemtoCell gateway is a LoRaWAN® gateway perfectly designed for indoor public network extension or for ad-hoc indoor private coverage, like building or industrial sites requiring continuous connectivity for their IoT applications.
This version of the iFemtoCell integrates a Kerlink Helium compatible miner that comes ready to mine HNT and 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 indoor environments. High-performance product Innovative casing and low-cost solution multi-backhaul natively include (Ethernet, Wifi) Technical Exclusive Features (Secured elements, Wifi hotspot…) Open & Interoperable Linux Solution.
Kerlink miners will be deployed with a version of full miner that enables all mining features except being able to participate in consensus groups.

LongFi™ Technology
Helium LongFi™ is a technology architecture that combines a leading wireless technology, LoRaWAN, and the Helium Blockchain. LongFi™ is optimized for miles of range, and long battery life for IoT devices.
Proof-of-Coverage
The Kerlink Helium Compatible Wirnet iFemtoCell Miner earns HNT when devices connect, and for validating wireless coverage delivered by peers. Using a system called Proof-of-Coverage, Kerlink Helium Compatible Wirnet iFemtoCell Miner earn more HNT when they're in range of other Helium Compatible Gateways, but need to be at least 300 meters apart.
Range depends on the environment, for rural areas up to 10 miles or more, but for more dense areas up to a mile.
