LOCATION

Chipset	Semtech LR1110
Environment	Indoor/Outdoor
GNSS Scanning	Concurrent GPS/BeiDou
Wi-Fi Location Scanning	Indoor asset location using Wi-Fi access point scanning
Cell Tower Location	Cell tower fallback for positioning when there is no GNSS or Wi-Fi signal
Cloud-Based Solver	Asset location is calculated in Digital Matter’s Location Engine
*Location Accuracy	~5m-80m with GNSS scanning in open areas ~10m-100m with Wi-Fi in urban areas ~250m-1km Cell Tower Geolocation – dependent on number of nearby towers
Low Noise Amplifier	GPS signals are filtered and boosted by a SAW filter and low-noise amplifier (LNA) allowing operation where other units fail
GNSS Assistance	GNSS almanac data for greater sensitivity and position accuracy

*Results vary based on real-world conditions. Device configuration, installation, environmental conditions, augmentation services, and many other factors may lead to variations in positioning accuracy.

 

POWER

Input Voltage	2.2 – 3.6V
Sleep Current	<10uA* *Average current in lowest power configuration

 

BATTERIES

User-Replaceable Batteries	2 x AA. Batteries not included.
Supported Battery Types	Alkaline Lithium (LiFeS2) – recommended for best performance *Please dispose of Lithium batteries in a safe and responsible manner
*Battery Life Estimates	Once Daily location updates – 10+ years Movement-Based location updates – 5+ years Hourly location updates – 3+ years

*Battery life estimates are influenced by several factors including temperature, installation and orientation of the device, the frequency of location updates, network coverage, sensor integrations, peripherals, accelerometer settings, and more.

3-Axis Accelerometer	3-Axis Accelerometer to detect movement and high G-force events
Diagnostic LED	Diagnostic LED indicates operation status
Flash Memory	Internal flash memory stores approximately 1400 records if device is out of cellular coverage
Speed and Heading	Scanning technology used on the Barra Edge does not return speed and heading
On-Board Temperature	The device reports internal temperature which provides an indication of ambient temperature

 

SMARTS

Adaptive Tracking	Configure parameters to send updates based on set time intervals or when movement occurs. Adaptive tracking technology detects when the device is on the move and increases the update rate, providing detail when you need it while conserving battery when stationary.
Battery Life Monitoring	“Battery Low” and “Battery Critical” alert levels
Geofence Alerts	The server can use device location to create geofences and alerts if an asset enters or leaves designated locations
Impact Detection	Configure impact-detection alerts when G-forces are exceeded by a user-defined threshold
Magnetic Activation	Magnetic switch can be used to activate the unit – meaning SIM cards and batteries can be pre-installed, simplifying deployment
Rotation Counting	Keeps a count of the number of rotations of the device about the Z axis
Run Hour Monitoring	Capture run hours based on movement to understand and optimize asset utilization
Sleep Mode	Stationary devices enter sleep mode until movement occurs to conserve battery life and optimize data usage
Tamper Detection	Magnetic switch provides an alert if the device is removed from your asset
Theft Recovery	Switch to Recovery Mode in the case of theft or loss to activate real-time tracking for asset retrieval
Tip Detection	Define a range of angles that constitutes a ‘tipped’ state and configure alerts

 

DEVICE MANAGEMENT

Flexible Configuration	Configure device parameters such as position update rate, movement and accelerometer settings, and more to fit any tracking application
Device Management Platform	Manage, monitor, configure, debug, update, and restart devices remotely from our cloud-based device management system
Configuration App	Configurable with DM-Link provisioning tool
