Kerlink Brings LR-FHSS to LoRaWAN® Gateways, Expanding Network Capacity for Utilities

Software upgrade activates LR-FHSS on already-deployed Wirnet™ iBTS gateways, with no hardware change or additional license fee

VIENNA, Austria — Nov. 10, 2026 — Kerlink (ALKLK – FR0013156007), a global specialist in LoRaWAN® networking solutions, today announced at Enlit Europe that it is the first gateway manufacturer to offer LRFHSS (Long Range – Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) in its gateway line, with the Wirnet™ iBTS series.

Developed by Semtech and standardized by the LoRa Alliance® as data rates in the LoRaWAN® Regional Parameters, LR-FHSS is a long-range modulation that changes frequency throughout each transmission. This delivers high capacity, excellent sensitivity and strong resistance to interference.

As a result, large numbers of devices can transmit in the same band at the same time with minimal interference between them. LR-FHSS-capable end-device radios from Semtech are on the market, and leading LoRaWAN® network servers support LR-FHSS data rates.
