“LoRaWAN’s extensive networking capabilities enable flexible
geolocation tracking solutions for a nearly endless variety of
applications, both in China and abroad.” said Wei Ku, Vice
President of Alibaba and General Manager of the IoT Business Unit
of Alibaba Cloud. “Our tracker product, part of the Alibaba LinkWAN
developer platform and complementing the LoRaWAN protocol with
Semtech’s 2.4G LoRa chip, provides consistent geolocation data
without requiring GPS, Cellular or additional connectivity,
simplifying deployment for those without much IoT experience.”
Alibaba Cloud’s new “Beagle” tracker provides up to 2,000 meters
of point-to-point location tracking indoor or outdoor, GPS-free.
Built on Semtech’s SX1280 LoRa chipset, the tracker allows
extensive geolocation functionality without relying on base
stations, Cellular networks, Cloud services, or internet
connectivity. A complete Beagle tracking solution offers advantages
for a range of applications, including personnel and asset
management, small device loss, theft prevention, and enhanced pet
and child monitoring.
“The Beagle tracker, integrated with Semtech’s proven LoRa
devices and the open LoRaWAN protocol, offers customers a flexible,
easy-to-use solution to geolocation tracking,” said Marc Pegulu,
Vice President of IoT for Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products
Group. “The tracker deploys in less than a minute and delivers
real-time and reliable geolocation data, allowing customers
simplified access to their assets’ locations in real time. Enhanced
coverage helps combat asset loss and theft, saving customers
money.”
