The company has more than 120,000 installations in 69 countries in all the primary IoT verticals. The partnership with ClearBlade will integrate Kerlink’s Wirnet™ iStation, Wirnet™ iBTS, Wirnet™ iBTS Compact, Wirnet™ iFemtoCell and Wirnet™ iFemtoCell Evolution with ClearBlade’s Edge Platform.
ClearBlade’s award-winning, fully scalable, secure, flexible and autonomous IoT Edge Platform enables companies to take in, analyze, adapt and act on their data in real time and at extreme scale. The platform operates consistently across edge, cloud and on-premises environments. ClearBlade’s out-of-the-box, asset-tracking and monitoring solution features real-time deployment and flexible operation support. The company’s zero-touch feature ensures remote updating and configuration of network software.
