The smartest, most power-efficient tracking system for the Internet of Things
Flexible, high performance, power-efficient, and low cost – this is our state-of-the-art IoT multi-technology geolocation solution optimized for LoRaWAN™. With its patented Low-Power GPS algorithm and and advanced edge processing and location-solving algorithms, the Abeeway platform and trackers bring you geolocation intelligence fit for most use cases, at an unprecedented performance/cost ratio. Our quality of service, superior battery life, extensive flexibility of configuration of GNSS/WiFi/BLE geolocation, sniffing modes and triggers bring integrators with the reliability and versatility they need for most custom use cases.
Abeeway devices combine cutting-edge location technologies, robust hardware, meticulous selection of highest performing low-power chipsets and the no-compromise optimization of our software. This allows flexible behavior, highly responsive to changing needs, and guaranteeing asset and people location in various coverage scenarios through:
With a low peak current of 50mA, the batteries can work at maximum capacity and allow continuous use of our rechargeable devices for months and years.
Our high-quality hardware houses multiple embedded geolocation technologies such as GPS, Low Power GPS, Wifi Sniffing, and Bluetooth Low Energy.
Abeeway trackers are small, light, and highly resistant to harsh environments (ATEX certified).
Our devices can actively change tracking modes and optimize performance by tuning each operation mode, location intervals, motion triggers, local geofencing, rotation, and more.
Abeeway’s SOS/panic button-equipped geofencing devices prompts location in specific use cases (e.g. motion, temperature, vibration, and pressure) using built-in sensors.
Abeeway’s optimized multiple geolocation technology system enables high energy efficiency and precise positioning in indoor and outdoor settings. The tracker’s firmware selects the best location technology and automatically adjusts itself to its surroundings, prolonging device battery life. Our trackers achieve optimal power-accuracy trade-off through the following geolocation technologies:
Ideal for outdoor environments, GPS has conventional and accurate position calculation using its chipset with 10-meter precision, but requires more processing time, consuming more energy.
For dense urban areas and indoor locations, where GPS and Low-Power GPS are insufficient, WiFi Sniffing is the answer. Using WiFi access points (SSIDs), it has low-power positioning and high accuracy at an average of 20-50 meters.
BLE ensures easy interoperability with other devices at short range with minimal power consumption. It is best for short-distance indoor positioning, using devices such as BLE beacons or a mobile phone. Moreover, real-time locating system (RTLS) identifies and tracks the location of objects or people in real time within a building or other contained areas.
Also known as “native” geolocation with LoRa, it uses triangulation to get the Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) on the received LoRa signal and position calculation. It is the most power-efficient outdoor and indoor geolocation mechanism, perfectly mastered by Actility.
LoRaWAN works everywhere, unlike the limited cellular connectivity in remote areas
Unique deep indoor penetration of LoRa radios, where cellular connectivity is spotty
LoRaWAN increases the device’s battery life by at least 10 times compared to cellular networks that have high bandwidth consumption
LoRaWAN reduces maintenance and hardware costs thus decreasing the overall TCO of the solutions
Between choosing either their own private LoRaWAN networks or existing public ones, industries can enjoy the network deployment flexibility that LoRaWAN offers. Abeeway solutions work with all LoRaWAN connectivity providers and is fully integrated with Actility’s ThingPark platform, which powers enterprise private networks and most public LoRaWAn networks in the world. Additionally, handover is possible between ThingPark Enterprise-dedicated networks and public networks via ThingPark Exchange – our roaming platform for LoRaWAN service providers.
Abeeway and Actility developed a modular Location Engine, ThingPark X, which processes, analyzes, and manages geolocation data and stores these in a highly secure server. It computes and provides the best possible location information through multiple geolocation technologies. Easy-to-integrate APIs also allow easy export and data visualization using third-party business applications and software.
Application bundled with our Location Engine that helps assess and configure the value of Abeeway technology and tracking devices according to your needs.
Mobile application framework that can be white-labelled and customized in order to easily deploy B2C geolocation use cases leveraging Abeeway trackers’ capabilities.
In a warehouse, a tracker needs indoor geolocation technologies using WiFi or BLE. Once the tracker leaves the warehouse and goes outdoors, it switches to GPS or Low-Power GPS-based technologies for position updating via a public LoRaWAN network. In large outdoor rural areas, where precise location is not required, the LoRa TDoA technique appears the most adapted. Meanwhile, an unlicensed, low-cost, low-power private LoRaWAN network can easily transport the location data from any indoor and outdoor location.
Actility’s ThingPark Location platform uniquely addresses geolocation opportunities through merging both carrier- and enterprise-grade IoT connectivity solutions. It also supports both public and private LoRaWAN deployments. Using this together with ThingPark Exchange for LoraWAN roaming, worldwide geolocation will truly be in reach.

Abeeway, Actility, and HERE Technologies partnered up to deliver accurate tracking that works indoors and outdoors for industry applications like warehouse management, inter-facility goods tracking, supply chain management, and people safety and security. Through WiFi Received Signal Strength (RSS) in the target environment, you can build radio maps using WiFi fingerprinting approach. This takes offline RSS fingerprint of the environment and compares it with an online RSS measurement to estimate user location.
