Abeeway Low-Power Asset Tracking Evaluation Kit - Private Network

Build and test your own use case!

Tracking assets in a cost-effective way, using multiple geolocation technologies. This Proof-of-Concept package allows you to test for three months, with technical support, the smart tracking capabilities of the Abeeway devices combined with LoRaWAN connectivity.

To use this starter pack you need to have a 'ThingPark Ready' gateway and an active subscription to the ThingPark platform which includes a LoRaWAN Network Server. 

If you do not already have a ThingPark subscription: 

For proof of concept and non-commercial use, we recommend our cloud-based ThingPark Community platform which is free to use. 

- For commercial operation, we recommend using our ThingPark Enterprise SaaS production platform (TPE SaaS). TPE SaaS is georedundant, fully managed 24*7 and provides SLAs. 

Once your subscription is activated, you will receive a welcome and password reset email from our ThingPark platform, please check your spam and “other” email folders for the title "Thank you for purchasing the Abeeway trial pack".

After logging in to the ThingPark Console (from your ThingPark Community or commercial TPE account), you will be able to access our extensive list of compatible gateway hardware (use the ‘create gateway’ wizard). If you already own one of these models, you do not need to buy one, the console provides the required firmware as well as a detailed upgrade procedure. 

If you do not already own a ThingPark ready LoRaWAN gatewayselect one option among the proposed gateways for indoor or outdoor use.

For detailed documentation and step-by-step setup instructions for this kit, refer to the Product information/Technical documents section below.

Key benefits

Powerful and power-efficient geolocation... 


This Location Trial Package makes it simple to test trackers, coverage, and platforms to validate your Proof of Concept. With the emergence of LoRaWAN, asset tracking becomes economically viable. Leveraging high battery life capabilities and low total cost of ownership, the Abeeway trackers provide a cost-efficient solution for tracking assets, using LoRaWAN connectivity and embedded geolocation intelligence.

The price package includes gateway, devices, and connectivity at one price!

It’s simple, fast and ready to go!

Abeeway trackers use multiple location technologies: GPS, Low-power GPS (proprietary Abeeway technology deporting the GPS calculations to the cloud, making it faster and up to 10 times more energy-efficient) and Wi-Fi Sniffing.

 

To optimize battery life, the Abeeway devices use the most cost-effective connectivity and integrated sensors to enable smart multi-mode behaviour, adaptable to your usage and use cases: 

  • Motion Tracking: real-time position when motion is detected

  • Permanent tracking: regular interval real-time positioning

  • Start/End: positioning at motion start and end events

  • Fix on demand: get position only when needed

  • Activity tracking: monitor activity rate with embedded sensors

Powerful and power-efficient geolocation, endless possibilities

The Abeeway Trackers are a multi-mode tracker with embedded sensors combining GPS, Low-power GPS, Wi-Fi Sniffer, BLE and LoRaWAN TDoA geolocation technologies, for accurate outdoor and indoor geolocation. 

Abeeway Tracker can monitor every movement of your assets and valuables in real-time and receive position alerts at the start, duration, and end of the motion, also when the device is entering or leaving defined zones – geofencing. With permanent tracking, you can also get live locations at regular intervals or when needed with fix on-demand. Finally, through its activity tracking ability, you can check activity rates provided by an embedded motion sensor. The Micro Tracker is certified by the LoRa Alliance and ready to be deployed worldwide: EU868, US915, AS923. 

Abeeway Device Manager

Abeeway integrated software platform is a hub that collects, manages, integrates, analyzes and visualizes sensor data associated with the geolocation information.

This application gives maximum visibility of your geolocation data, allowing changing the rules and related images directly in the application. The setup comes with predefined settings and sample images and allows personalization to respond to your specific needs. The Abeeway Device Analyzer application is automatically set up as soon as the gateway is connected to a network.

All devices are provisioned and will start sending their data to this visual application. Log in and see your connected devices in a graphical interface!

Abeeway Device Analyzer comes with features:

  • Device list management & filtering
  • Position visualization with the ability to keep track of location data
  • Send commands to the tracker to change behaviour
  • Monitoring key performance indicators of each tracker such as Battery or Temperature
  • Monitoring radio indicators like RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) or SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio)
