The Barra Core is a long-life, battery-powered asset tracker designed for reliable visibility across both indoor and outdoor environments. Using NB-IoT connectivity combined with Wi-Fi Access Point scanning and Cell Tower location, the Barra Core offers affordable, low-maintenance tracking for a wide range of movable and fixed assets.
Where Barra Core Performs Best
The Barra Core is ideal for assets that require periodic location updates without the need for full GPS tracking, including:
- Construction tools and jobsite equipment
- Containers, pallets, and warehouse assets
- Production machinery and indoor industrial assets
- Rental equipment and mobile jobsite units
- Assets moving within mixed indoor/outdoor environments
With a battery lifespan of up to 10+ years, the Barra Core is built for “deploy once and forget” operations—perfect for businesses focused on efficiency and low maintenance.
What Makes Barra Core Stand Out
- 🔋 Extended Battery Life (10+ Years)
Powered by 2× AA Lithium batteries that can be replaced by the user. Intelligent power management optimizes transmission based on asset activity. - 📡 Non-GPS Location Technology
Utilizes Wi-Fi AP scanning and Cell Tower triangulation, enabling accurate indoor positioning where GPS is limited. - 🤖 Adaptive Tracking
Reports more frequently when the asset is moving, and conserves battery when stationary. - 🛡️ Ultra-Rugged Housing
Built tough with IP68 (water/dustproof) and IK07 (impact resistant) ratings—ideal for harsh site environments. - 🧲 Magnetic Activation & Tamper Alerts
Simple magnetic activation plus tamper detection for added security. - ☁️ Cloud-Based Location Solving
Offloads computation to the cloud for improved battery efficiency. - 📈 Utilization Insights & Theft Recovery Mode
Detects movement patterns for asset usage reporting and supports high-frequency tracking during theft or loss.
Installation Guide – Simple and Flexible

Monthly GPS Data Plans
Best For Assets Without Power
Battery-Powered GPS Devices
Battery-powered trackers are designed for assets that do not have an onboard power source or where wiring is impractical.
Ideal For:
- Trailers (box trailers, plant trailers)
- Equipment parked for long periods
- Generators
- Storage containers
- Mobile equipment without wiring
- Rapid deployment or temporary tracking needs
Advantages:
- No wiring or installation required
- Completely self-contained
- Can be placed or mounted anywhere
- Easy to move between assets
- Works even when the asset is not powered
Considerations:
- Battery life depends on update frequency & motion
- Requires periodic recharging or battery replacement
Best For Powered Fleet & Machinery
Hardwired GPS Devices
Hardwired trackers draw continuous power from the vehicle or equipment, providing real-time, uninterrupted reporting.
Ideal For:
- Fleet vehicles (utes, vans, trucks)
- Heavy machinery (excavators, skid steers, forklifts)
- Assets that operate daily
- Assets where tracking must remain live at all times
- Long-term, permanent installations
Advantages:
- Continuous power, no recharging
- Higher update frequency possible
- Reliable for maintenance, driver logs, live tracking
- Tamper-resistant installation
- “Always on” regardless of movement
Considerations:
- Requires wiring into the asset
- Professional installation recommended
