5 GEOLOCATION STRATEGY MODES
All geolocation strategies are supported by Abeeway trackers
5.1 Main operating modes and SOS mode
The following geolocation technology settings (geoloc_sensor parameter) are used by the main operating modes:
motion-tracking, permanent-tracking, start/end tracking and SOS. Note that in standby mode, only side operations
can report positions.
➢ WIFI only → Only WIFI scans are used for position determination.
➢ GPS only → Only the GPS is used for position determination.
➢ LPGPS only → GPS and low power-GPS are used for position determination.
➢ BLE beacon scan only → Provide data formatted as a list of “MAC address/RSSI” couple that can be used to
compute a position
➢ Multi-technologies modes
o WIFI-GPS only → WIFI then GPS if WIFI fails in one geolocation cycle.
o WIFI-LPGPS only → WIFI then Low power-GPS if WIFI fails in one geolocation cycle.
o BLE-GPS only → BLE then GPS if BLE fails in one geolocation cycle.
o WIFI-LPGPS/ WIFI-GPS → WIFI-low power GPS first, then WIFI-GPS if WIFI-low power GPS fails until
timeout, then back to WIFI-low power GPS.
5.2 Side operations
The following geolocation technology setting (geoloc_method parameter) are used for periodic-reporting, on-
demand or alert operations.
➢ WIFI only → Only WIFI scans are used for position determination.
➢ GPS only →Only the GPS is used for position determination.
➢ LPGPS only → GPS and low power-GPS are used for position determination.
➢ BLE beacon scan only → Provide data formatted as a list of “MAC address/RSSI” couple that can be used to
compute a position
➢ Multi-technologies modes
o WIFI-GPS only → WIFI then GPS if WIFI fails in one geolocation cycle.
o WIFI-LPGPS only → WIFI then Low power-GPS if WIFI fails in one geolocation cycle.
o BLE-GPS only → BLE then GPS if BLE fails in one geolocation cycle.
