Press Release – Paris, France & Irvine, CA, USA – 13 January 2022
PenguinIN, Actility and its subsidiary Abeeway are happy to announce a partnership aiming at expanding their IoT solutions portfolios with joint offers, focusing primarily on Managed Indoor Positioning and Navigation serving a wide range of industries including Healthcare, Construction, Oil & Gas, Airports, Education, Hotels, Theme Parks and Shopping Centers.
PenguinIN is a leading indoor positioning and IoT use cases provider, headquartered in Irvine, California, with a regional office in Dubai. The company creates digital parallel for physical spaces to optimize day-to-day processes and create unique experiences for visitors and operators. PenguinIN leverages all available radio and sensor information to provide state-of-the-art indoor positioning information to build ROI-driven use cases, with solutions that have already been proven successful in some of the world’s most challenging environments.
The use of LoRaWAN® connectivity is one of the main keys to success of such use cases. LoRaWAN is a widely used wireless protocol that allows battery-powered sensors to communicate with IoT applications via a long-range, ultra-low data rate connection, resulting in longer battery life.
Actility provides the LoRaWAN IoT connectivity management solution with ThingPark Enterprise, a platform that helps customers build network infrastructure by managing LoRaWAN gateways, adding sensors, monitoring network operations and controlling the flow of data to application servers, enabling the deployment of large-scale IoT projects in record time. Actility’s subsidiary, Abeeway, provides various tracking devices that work both indoors and outdoors thanks to their multi- technology geolocation system, integrating GPS, Abeeway’s patented Low-power GPS, Wi-Fi Sniffing and Bluetooth Low Energy,
As PenguinIN expands its portfolio of use cases, the need has surfaced for a fully controllable long-range backhaul technologies. Naturally, Actility was the right fit with its know-how, acquired through years of experience and thousands of use cases deployed, to help them complete their offers with solutions for private network server management and Abeeway asset management devices offering.
PenTrack which is a software-based, cloud-hosted indoor tracking solution offering market leading accuracy and performance. It works with off-the-shelf tags and does not require proprietary hardware.
