Connect your Abeeway smart trackers to Helium...
This kit requires LoRaWAN connectivity from Helium Hotspots. To get started and subscribe to an Helium account with data credits, click here.
Note: you can add more Hotspots for better coverage.
By default, this kit contains an Abeeway Micro Tracker V3. In case you want to add more tracker devices, you can select the corresponding options. The trackers also work on any LoRaWAN network.
...And, build your own use cases!

With this Abeeway solution, it is always easy to tell where your valuable things are. You can install the Abeeway LoRaWAN-connected smart tracking devices in everything you need to track and protect, like cars, motorbikes, bikes, keychains, luggage, or handbags. Another use for these devices is for people safety, you can use them on elders, children to get warned when they leave the vicinity of their home or any geo zone and quickly locate them. These devices can work anywhere under Helium network coverage, using your Hotspot but also any other Hotspot available in your community. Unlike Bluetooth based tags which need compatible phones to be around for recovery, Abeeway tags will be located anywhere on the Helium network, and do not require a cellular subscription. The price of the package includes an Abeeway Micro Tracker V3, access to a Helium compatible multi-technology geolocation solver, and access to Abeeway Device Manager. It is simple, fast, and ready to deploy! You will need to create an account on ThingPark Community and follow the provided step-by-step instructions. Abeeway trackers make use of multiple location technologies, including multiple constellations (GPS, Galileo, Glonas, Beidou), Low-Power GPS (a patented Abeeway technology transferring the GPS calculations to the cloud, making it faster and up to 10 times more energy-efficient), Wi-Fi Sniffing (one year of WiFi solver database access included*) and BLE beacon sniffing (beacons not included in this kit, you can buy them here). To improve battery life, the Abeeway devices leverage LoRAWAN ultra-low-power connectivity and dynamically select the most battery efficient location technology (e.g. WiFi preferred over GPS in a dense urban environment). Location data is then merged by the ThingPark X fused geolocation engine and made available via APIs and the Abeeway Device Manager. Abeeway also implements flexible location triggers to further optimize power consumption to each use case:
(*) After one year, the tracker will default to GPS & BLE only, unless you subscribe to a one-year extension of the WiFi & LP-GPS subscription. |
Our starter kit includes: 1 x Access to Abeeway Device Manager to manage up to 10 trackers. 1 x Abeeway Micro Tracker V3 Options 1 x Abeeway Micro-Tracker V3 1 x Abeeway Industrial tracker 1 x Abeeway Compact Tracker 1 x Abeeway Smart Badge |

Low cost, high autonomy, high precision, and continuous serviceAbeeway proposes ultra long-life battery-powered trackers devices that provide an exact and responsive location, adapt to various environments, and have easy third-party IoT platforms and applications integration. Now, they are fully integrated with the People’s Network - Helium’s IoT Network, enabling simple and affordable asset tracking applications. Abeeway devices bring together multiple geolocation technologies exploiting WiFi hotspots, Bluetooth beacons and ultra-low power-assisted GPS that offer quick and reliable GPS location even in tough environments. These devices permit you to rapidly geolocate your assets and valuables in real-time, everywhere indoors or outdoors, (as long as the tracker is within reach of any Helium hotspot). Use the function of geofencing, to receive alerts in case of movement and when the device is entering or leaving defined zones. Our trackers allow you to get full visibility of your assets and optimize their usage. |

Abeeway Device ManagerThe integrated software platform of Abeeway is a hub that uses geolocation information to collect, manage, integrate, analyse, and visualize sensor data. Thanks to this application you can have the maximum visibility of your geolocation data, it allows changing the rules and related images directly from the application. The system comes with predefined settings and sample images, but it allows personalization to respond to your specific needs. As soon as the gateway is connected to a network, the Abeeway Device Analyzer application is automatically set up. Additionally, all devices are provisioned and will start sending their data to this application. Log in and see your connected devices in a graphical interface! Abeeway Device Analyzer comes with these features:

Helium - People's NetworkHelium is an American company offering a decentralized, open-source IoT network called LongFi, based on public LoRaWAN® access points since June 2019. It is focusing on companies that develop uses in connected homes, asset and animal tracking, or data collection from infrastructure sensors. Helium’s network is built via marketing hotspots or individuals that decide to activate a hotspot. Helium’s own open-sourced blockchain technology, incentivizes individuals to install hotspots, mining cryptocurrency and providing LoRaWAN® network exposure for hundreds of square kilometres. The Hotspots are the same size as a small router and can be easily plugged into a home network, offering affordable wireless connectivity for location tracking and theft recovery applications, like tracking and monitoring vehicles, equipment, trailers, bicycles, livestock, pets, cattle, and more. |
