Digital Matter Yabby3 LoRaWAN GPS Tracker — 7-Year Battery, IP68, Adaptive Tracking

Deploy once. Track for years. The Digital Matter Yabby3 is a compact, ultra-rugged LoRaWAN GPS tracker designed for long-term asset tracking without any wiring, charging, or maintenance. With up to 7 years of battery life on 3 × AAA replaceable batteries and an IP68/IK06-rated housing, you mount it, forget about it, and it just works — for years.

Every Yabby3 purchased from Hexaspot includes a scannable QR code for instant onboarding to Trackpac.io — our managed tracking platform. Scan the code, activate your device, and start tracking on a live map within minutes. No network expertise required.

Trackpac.io — Your Tracking Platform

The Yabby3 is a LoRaWAN device, which means it needs a network server and a dashboard to turn raw GPS data into a usable tracking view. That's what Trackpac.io provides — and it comes ready out of the box:

• Scan the QR code included with your device to register it on Trackpac.io
• €18 per year per device — covers LoRaWAN connectivity, the live tracking dashboard, geofencing, alerts, and data storage
• No infrastructure needed — Trackpac handles the network server, data routing, and visualisation. You just watch the map.
• Live map, geofences, movement history, and battery monitoring — everything you need for professional asset management

Need to track more than a handful of assets? Contact us for a custom quote on bulk orders and tailored tracking solutions. We offer volume pricing, custom geofence configurations, API integrations, and dedicated account management for fleet and enterprise deployments.

Key Features

• 7-year battery life — powered by 3 × AAA user-replaceable batteries (Energizer Ultimate Lithium recommended). 4× the battery life of the previous generation Yabby
• IP68 & IK06 rated — fully dustproof, submersible, and impact-resistant. Designed for outdoor, industrial, and harsh environments
• Adaptive tracking — automatically increases GPS update frequency when the asset moves, and drops to sleep mode (2× per day) when stationary. Maximum detail when it matters, maximum battery life when it doesn't
• Multi-constellation GNSS — GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS simultaneously for faster fixes and better accuracy (~2m CEP)
• SAW filter + LNA — hardware-level GPS signal filtering and amplification. Gets a fix in environments where other trackers fail
• Multiband LoRaWAN — supports both EU868 and US902–928 MHz in a single device. Works on any LoRaWAN network (TTN, Helium, ChirpStack, Trackpac, or your own)
• Compact and concealable — small enough to hide on equipment, pallets, or vehicles. Multiple mounting options: screws, bolts, cable ties, magnets, or industrial adhesive. Stainless steel screws included
• Built-in accelerometer — detects movement, trip start/end, and orientation. Configurable sensitivity thresholds
• Temperature sensor — reports ambient temperature alongside position data
• OTA parameter updates — change reporting frequency, movement thresholds, and more via downlinks. No physical access needed after deployment

Use Cases

• Fleet & logistics — track trailers, containers, pallets, and non-powered assets across warehouses and transit routes
• Construction — monitor high-value equipment (generators, compressors, scaffolding) on job sites. Geofence alerts if equipment leaves the site
• Agriculture — track livestock, irrigation equipment, or mobile farm assets across large areas with minimal infrastructure
• Municipal & government — monitor waste containers, public equipment, park assets, or disaster relief supplies
• Security & theft prevention — conceal the Yabby3 inside or underneath an asset. Get movement alerts if it's moved outside working hours
• Wildlife research — rugged enough for animal tracking with optional collar housing

Yabby3 vs Oyster3 — Which Tracker?

We also sell the Digital Matter Oyster3 (from €124.99). Here's how they compare:

For most asset tracking applications, the Yabby3 is the better value — longer battery, smaller form factor, and lower price. Choose the Oyster3 if you need the extra impact resistance (IK08) or prefer AA batteries.

Specs

• GNSS: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS (simultaneous)
• Positioning accuracy: ~2m CEP (ideal conditions)
• LoRaWAN: Class A, OTAA, EU868 & US902–928 MHz (multiband, single device)
• Encryption: AES-128 (LoRaWAN standard)
• Battery: 3 × AAA LiFeS2 (Energizer Ultimate Lithium recommended)
• Battery life: Up to 7 years (daily updates), ~7 months (movement-based tracking)
• Sensors: GPS, accelerometer, temperature
• Housing: IP68 waterproof, IK06 impact-rated
• Operating temperature: -30°C to +60°C
• Mounting: Screws, bolts, cable ties, magnets, adhesive (stainless steel screws included)
• Configuration: Via Digital Matter Provisioning Tool or LoRaWAN downlinks
• LED: Diagnostic status indicator
• Store & forward: Stores records when out of LoRaWAN coverage, uploads when reconnected
• Warranty: 2 years manufacturer warranty (Digital Matter)

What's in the Box

• 1 × Digital Matter Yabby3 LoRaWAN GPS Tracker
• 1 × Stainless steel mounting screws
• 1 × Trackpac.io onboarding QR code card

Note: batteries and programming cable are not included. We recommend Energizer Ultimate Lithium AAA batteries for optimal performance. The Trackpac.io subscription (€18/year per device) is optional — the Yabby3 works with any LoRaWAN network server.
