The Barra Core is the most affordable way to bring every asset onto your MapTrack dashboard. Using NB-IoT connectivity combined with Wi-Fi access point scanning and cell tower triangulation, it delivers reliable zone-level location without the power draw of a full GPS chipset, extending battery life beyond 10 years on two standard AA lithium cells. A magnetic activation switch and tamper alert ensure you know the moment a device is moved or removed. At $100 per unit, the Barra Core makes large-scale tool and equipment tracking economically viable for businesses of any size.
