“Battery life, device size and cost are the three biggest
factors we see when deploying asset management solutions,
particularly for low cost assets such as pallets,” said Ken
Everett, CEO and Founder, Digital Matter. “By utilizing Semtech’s
latest multi-technology geolocation solution, the Yabby Edge ticks
all three boxes with low power consumption and incredible battery
life, even at more aggressive tracking parameters, compact,
concealable and ultra-rugged housing, and manufactured at a price
point that enables large-scale deployments.”
The Yabby Edge features advanced Cloud-based location
calculations, significantly reducing power consumption and
extending battery life for up to 12 years. Location data can be
easily forwarded to any customer platform or system for simple
integration and device settings can be configured to fit any
tracking application.
“Semtech’s LoRa Edge platform, with its multi-technology
hardware, its LoRa Basics™ Modem-E native modem software operating
on the LoRaWAN® protocol, and its LoRa Cloud™ geolocation
and device and application services, simplify and accelerate the
development of IoT solutions,” said Sree Durbha, Director of
Product Management in Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products
Group. “Digital Matter’s new solution will help customers deploy
ultra-low power and cost effective solutions in a variety of
industry verticals and should dramatically increase the rate of
adoption of LoRa® in the IoT ecosystem.”
The Yabby Edge will be available in 868MHz and 902-928MHz
frequencies of the LoRaWAN protocol in April 2021. For technical
