General description

The ABK100 advanced Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.3 beacon is a robust and versatile tracking solution built on the high-efficiency GR5331 chipset. All Assistant Telematics units support ABK100. Designed for longevity and reliability, it offers a perfect balance between long-range signal transmission and ultra-low power consumption.

Whether for indoor navigation, asset tracking, identification, or proximity marketing, this device provides industrial-grade performance in a compact form factor.

One of the standout features of this device is its flexible security layer. It can operate in two modes:

  • Encrypted mode: Utilizes AES-128-bit encryption to protect data integrity and prevent unauthorized signal spoofing or cloning (contact the Assistant Telematics team).
  • Open mode: Standard non-encrypted broadcasting for maximum compatibility with public proximity applications.
