iFemtoCell SPN firmware v2.0.3 (June 2018)

KERLINK developed a new “SPN” version for Wirnet™ iFemtoCell: the 2.0.

Disclaimer: This version does not replace the 1.1. This is not the “end of life “of SPN 1.1, which can still be ordered.

The 2.0 brings additional features, such as the “Multi-gateway LoRa© Management”. Its functional perimeter being different from the 1.1, the 2.0 version requires another commercial license.
So:

  • if you have SPN 1.1 and you want to keep SPN 1.1: No change required, please, do not upgrade to the 2.0 firmware. The 1.1 license is not compatible with the 2.0 firmware.
  • if you have SPN 1.1 and you want to use SPN 2.0: you have to order a specific license (paying) before using the 2.0 firmware.

If you wish more information about the Wanesy™ SPN 2.0, please contact the sales: salesteam-ww@kerlink.com
