Big Mammals can carry up to 3% of their own weight. The recommended option is almost always a collar.
Ear tags, implants or harnesses are also commonly used options, based on specific needs.
In general, most of these projects use GPS with Satellite communication (TGSAT), although in some specific cases GPS with wireless communication (TGB) or VHF radio tracking is also used. It depends on the needs of the project.
Please contact us with the specie, typical weight and specific needs, so we can gladly offer the appropriate models.

Specialized Technology
VHF TGB TGSATTechnologies
VHF
While its use requires human interaction, this is the most cost-effective, smallest, lightest and longest lasting option for wildlife tracking.Also known as radio-tracking. Electromagnetic signals are broadcasted by the unit attached to the animal. These signals are received by a specialized wildlife tracking receiver and a directive antenna which allows you to determine in which straight direction the signal is coming from.
Tracking distance between animal's unit and receiving system:
- Up to 40 km (25 miles) under ideal conditions and strongest units
- 500 meters to 10 km (0.3 to 6 miles) in most real-life conditions, depending on type of unit, specie and local conditions.
We offer some of the smallest radio tracking equipment available in the world. Developed with the greatest quality and components to withstand wildlife treatment. Customized to best suit your needs.
Extra optional capabilities:
- Activity-Inactivity-Mortality sensor
- Posture sensor (between 2 customer-specified options)
- Water sensor
- Drop-off
TGB
GPS receiver, several sensors and communication through a medium-range handheld device.This is the most affordable GPS tracking option when you can...
- Periodically visit the area where the animal roams,
- Leave the handheld device in the area so it will automatically download all stored data. You can set an array of handheld devices which can even be regular android Tablets or Mobile phones,
- Periodically immobilize the animal to communicate with the unit on-demand,
- Wait until unit is physically recovered (animal is recaptured, unit drops by the use of a drop-off system, etc)
Communication distance between animal's unit and handheld device:
- Around 1 km in ideal conditions
- 100 to 300 meters in most real-life conditions
Developed with the greatest quality and components to withstand wildlife treatment. Customized to best suit your needs.
Among its main features are the best and latest in hardware and software technology available, along with the following extra capabilities:
- 3 axis Magnetometer
- 3 axis Accelerometer
- Activity Level
- Speed
- Satellites Acquired and HDOP
- Temperature
