The WMC (Wanesy Management Center) 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 (WG-Wanesy Geolocalization) for geolocation of end-devices 

The platform provides interfaces for customer and user access : 

  * Dashboard (GUI)
  * GMS API RESTful API
  * HTTP/HTTPS/WS/WSS/MQTT/MQTTS PUSH API
 

The platform proposes a set of services for operations and device management:

  *	Base stations monitoring & maintenance
  *	End-devices monitoring & maintenance
  *	RF spectrum monitoring
  *	RESTful API for GMS integration
  *	Web graphical dashboard
  *	LoRaWan Network server 
  *	LoRaWan Application server
  *	Multi-protocol data router
  *	Network controller
  *	End-device localization service
