Press Release – \u00a0Paris, France – 13th April, 2022<\/em><\/p>

Volunteering Africa<\/a><\/span>, a non-profit organization founded in South Africa in 2019, which works for the preservation of wildlife, with a big focus on rhino protection <\/strong>in this and other African countries, has teamed up with Abeeway<\/a><\/span> and Actility<\/a><\/span> to develop a system which will allow us to constantly monitor rhinos\u2019 localization in order to efficiently protect them against poachers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

From IoT project to reality in the field<\/span><\/h2>

Around 7.100 rhinos have been slaughtered in the past 10 years<\/strong> by poachers<\/strong> who seek their tusks for resale on the illegal market. This issue has endangered the rhinoceros\u2019 species, leaving only around 27.000 in the whole world, and especially putting the Black Rhino species in great danger of extinction.<\/p>

To help this cause, Lukas Schefer<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, ex HF Electronics NDS Project Manager, decided to volunteer in 2015 in Southern Africa to help with the protection of wildlife. Lukas trained to become a South Africa Field Guide, and having been working as a Ranger since 2019, decided to start Volunteering Africa<\/strong> as a transformation of his hobby into a real organization and effectively help wildlife, especially rhinos, by offering secure parks protected from poachers.<\/strong><\/p>

Volunteering Africa has since then worked on finding volunteers and systems to protect endangered wildlife in African parks, offering interested people from German speaking countries ways to get started with volunteering work in Africa. Since the start of this project, Volunteering Africa has gone a step further and now consistently works on finding new systems which will allow to secure the over 25.000 hectares where they operate.<\/strong><\/p>

During the past years, Luke has used his technical background and electronic understanding, as well as the knowledge of the needs of the park, to set up a proof of concept for the protection of wild animals using radio technology.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cFor a long time, the organization used antennas and sound-based systems to localize the rhinos and make sure they didn\u2019t step into dangerous areas where poachers would find it easy to act, but this system wasn\u2019t as effective as desired and only localized animals when these were close, after looking for them for several hours<\/em>\u201d<\/p>

Because of this, the organization searched for a faster and more accurate system to remotely localize rhinos, coming across Abeeway, which had already undergone similar animal tracking use cases<\/span>, <\/strong>through Shop of Things<\/strong><\/a><\/span>,<\/strong> a Swiss IoT system integrator and distributing company, with an extensive history in implementing tracking projects\u00a0 using Abeeway devices.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Finding the perfect match in IoT tracking technology<\/span><\/h2>

Volunteering Africa deployed several LoRaWAN gateways throughout the park where they operate and created a leg bracelet for rhinos which included Abeeway\u2019s Compact Tracker.<\/strong><\/a><\/span> This system allows the rangers to localize each animal in real-time and be prepared much faster before poachers arrive, also allowing them to track ranger\u2019s cars and routes, helping prevent infiltered poachers.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Compact Tracker is Abeeway\u2019s most solid device, especially designed to last in heavy-duty operations, while being light weighted and extremely accurate. This device is a highly versatile multi-mode tracker which includes embedded sensors combining GPS, Low-power GPS, Wi-Fi Sniffers, BLE, and LoRa TDoA geolocation technology<\/strong>, supporting outdoor and indoor geolocation and long battery autonomy.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Its compact and robust casing has been designed to resist harsh surroundings while allowing seamless performance for animal or asset tracking<\/strong>. This tracker allows real-time tracking, status monitoring, activity monitoring based on motion for usage optimization, geofencing applications, like receiving zone alerts when leaving or entering specific areas, antitheft applications, like notifications and location triggers when the device is moving, and fixed frequency updates which can be set on demand.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cAbeeway device have an attractive price for such a long-lasting device. Configuration is multipurpose and practical, allowing changing heartbeat, standby mode, on-demand location… and most importantly, all configurations can be updated remotely using LoRaWAN, so there is no need to be close to the animal and to use BLE for example. <\/em>\u201d<\/p>

For this specific use case, the LoRaWAN connected<\/strong> trackers get attached on collars which are then buckled onto rhino\u2019s legs<\/strong>. This creates a need for trackers to be as robust as possible,<\/strong> as they are placed on a highly bumped area of their body. This placement, being so close to the ground, also generates another issue, connectivity. Service needs to be clear to make coverage possible and reaching such a low and covered area of the animal is a challenge.<\/p>

Battery life is another important issue in this project. Catching the rhinos to put the tracker on them is one of the hardest and most costly parts of the task. Therefore, once on, the devices and their batteries must last for as long as possible to help delay the procedure of putting the trackers back on each animal<\/strong>. However, unlike other trackers, the Compact Tracker benefits from the extremely low-power advantage of LoRaWAN connectivity, which gives its battery a higher longevity<\/strong>, offering up to 7 years of battery-life, not needing a SIM card or costly subscriptions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Why is LoRaWAN the way to go?<\/span><\/h2>

All the aforementioned project\u2019s characteristics make LoRaWAN\u00ae<\/a><\/span> come out to be the only type of connectivity which can offer service in such hazardous specifications.<\/strong> The signal must be strong, covering huge areas. <\/strong>\u00a0This widely used wireless protocol allows battery-powered sensors to communicate with IoT applications via a long-range, ultra-low data rate connection, resulting in longer battery life<\/strong>.<\/p>

Actility provides LoRaWAN\u00ae IoT management through\u00a0ThingPark Enterprise<\/a><\/span>, a platform that helps customers build network infrastructure by managing LoRaWAN\u00ae 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<\/strong>. ThingPark Enterprise has been designed to easily be grown with the needs of the deploying organization, which makes project\u2019s scaling up easy<\/strong>, and in this case allows to extend the project from rhinos tracking to other endangered species in the program\u2019s protection radar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
