GEOLOCATION MODULE Compact, comprehensive and cutting-edge The Abeeway Geolocation Module is a multi-technology fused location LPWAN module designed as the ideal platform to develop a wide range of IoT tracking solutions, minimizing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of IoT geolocation use cases. It allows your engineering to focus on the use case, to optimize time-to-market and cost by using less complex PCBs (all high-density devices being encapsulated), to reduce certification risk and budget, as well as testing time and cost for mass production. This LoRaWAN ® fused location module is a cost effective, ultra-low power and compact form factor SiP (System in Package) integrating the high performance STM32WB microcontroller (MCU) with integrated Bluetooth 5.x Low Energy transceiver, the latest LoRaWAN ® radio transceiver from Semtech, and an optimized arrangement of multitechnology RF engines for indoor and outdoor positioning. Application Areas • Indoor & Outdoor Asset location: shared scooters tracking, parking policy enforcement, theft protection, tool monitoring on construction sites, cable drum monitoring, supply chain monitoring, cattle tracking and more. • Indoor & Outdoor safety & productivity solutions: visitor tracking, guard tour monitoring, monitored evacuation, social distancing policies, and so on. • Consumer Tracking Applications: pet / child / elderly safety and protection. Keep-together bubble for schools and theme parks. Product Highlights The module contains a high-performance multiconstellation GNSS receiver (GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, and Galileo) and supports a patented ultra Low-Power GPS (LP GPS) mode which can provide a network assisted first fix in 3 to 5 seconds from cold start at -157dBm, while requiring extremely low power (only GNSS correlators are active to collect Pseudo-range information). Indoor positioning can be achieved by combining the Bluetooth Low Energy receiver and the ultra-low power Wi-Fi receiver. The LoRa® radio supports the worldwide unlicensed sub-GHz spectrum also supports device-to-device time-of-flight ranging. The highly configurable peripherals include multiple digital interfaces: I2C/SPI/UART/ USB/GPIOs, an ADC channel input, and I/Os to support various power management schemes. These I/Os and the power of the STM32WB make it possible to use the module not only as fused location provider, but also as the main MCU for any LoRaWAN® application, and to drive an external LTE-M or NB-IoT modem for cellular LPWAN support. The module is delivered with an application firmware supporting AT commands to easily deploy your IoT applications. ThingPark Location Engine, a cloud-based fused location solver enabling Network TDoA location, LP-GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth location is available through optional subscription.
