    SIM Size & Access Internal Nano 4FF SIM

    Location

    Chipset Cloud-Based Solver
    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 the number of nearby towers
    Results vary depending on real world conditions
    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 are 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, and accelerometer settings. 
    ** Movement-based estimates are based on 2 hours of movement, occurring 5 days a week, with default tracking parameters (location updates every 3 minutes and uploads every 30 minutes). Devices can be configured to provide more frequent location updates when the asset is in motion.

    Mechanics/Design>

    Diagnostic LED Diagnostic LED indicates the operation status
    Flash Memory Internal flash memory stores approximately 1400 records if the device is out of cellular coverage.
    Speed and Heading Scanning technology used on the Barra Edge does not return speed and heading.
    Onboard 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 moving and increases the update rate,
    providing details when you need them while conserving battery energy 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 a user-defined threshold exceeds g-forces>
    Magnetic Activation A 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 utilisation
    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
