The low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) location modules are designed to maximise battery life, while providing greater sensitivity and flexibility, in order to build customised low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) tracking devices.
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, applications include asset recovery, traceability, inventory management, and theft prevention.
The modules integrate LoRaWAN connectivity and, in addition to a dual-core, multi-protocol wireless microcontroller, the modules contain a high-performance multi-constellation GNSS receiver (GPS, GLONASS, Beidou and Galileo) and support a patented ultra-low-power localizer performance (LP) mode.
On-board Bluetooth LE 5.2 (Bluetooth SIG cert is underway) connectivity allows for short-range communication with smartphone apps and other devices for applications such as contact tracing or monitoring BLE tagged equipment.
The Abeeway-Murata Geolocation Module with a full-featured evaluation kit will be available in production quantities after September 2022.
