====== Introduction ======


A Kerlink IoT network is based on a set of base Stations (Wirnet, iBTS or iFemtocell product family) and a network platform (Wanesy RAN).

The Wanesy RAN (Radio Access Network) platform includes 3 sub-systems : 

  *     Base Stations Controller (BSC) for stations management 
  * 	Radio Network Controller (RNC) for radio aspects management 
  * 	LoRaWAN™ Network Server (LNS) for end-devices data decoding and routing 

The following component is optional :
  * 	Location Based Services (LBS) for geolocation of end-devices 

The platform provides interfaces for customer and user access : 

  * Dashboard (GUI)
  * OSS RESTful APIs
  * OSS PUSH APIs 
 

The platform proposes a set of services for operations and device management :
  *	Base stations monitoring& maintenance
  *	Endpoints monitoring & maintenance
  *	RF spectrum monitoring
  *	RESTful API for OSS integration
  *	Web graphical dashboard
  *	LoRaWan Network server 
  *	LoRaWan Application server
  *	Multi-protocol data router
  *	Network controller
  *	Endpoint localization service (LBS)
