Our solution
Hardware and software, built as one system.
Hardware · Balder Northstar
One device turns a steel box into a monitored asset.
Northstar fits to the container door with no wiring and no power to run - installation and container pairing take less than two minutes. From that moment the container reports its position, movement, door-opening and shock events, and condition data for the rest of its working life.
Container-lifetime battery
12+ years on a single battery. Install once - never charge, never service.
True global connectivity
NB-IoT, LTE-M and LTE Cat-1 bis with satellite fallback, plus AIS integration for visibility at sea without blind-spots.
Full condition picture
Tamper-proof intrusion detection, door-opening, temperature and shock, with proprietary movement detection.
Rugged by default
Sealed against water, dust and washdown (IP69K); ATEX Zone 2 and IEC 60945 rated.
