Designed with advanced telemetry features, the collar enables the monitoring of movement patterns, habitat utilization, and behavioral studies with unparalleled accuracy. Its lightweight and compact design ensure minimal impact on the subject animal, allowing for natural behavior while providing robust data collection. Integrated with advanced GPS and GSM technologies, the collar supports real-time data transmission and long-range tracking capabilities. Ideal for researchers and wildlife biologists, it is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions and offers extended battery life, ensuring uninterrupted data collection over extended periods. The transmitter is user-friendly and customizable, providing a reliable solution for the detailed tracking and study of small mammals.

The D-cell Collar, starting at $700 USD, is engineered for advanced wildlife tracking and monitoring, offering robust performance with a configuration of a single D cell. It delivers an output power of 150 mW with a BPSK-modulated PRN code and operates in the frequency range of 1611.25 to 1618.75 MHz. Its GPS engine is the μBlox 16 Channel, promising horizontal accuracy within +/- 10 meters and vertical accuracy within +/- 25 meters, with data anchored to the WGS84 datum. Designed for extreme conditions, the collar functions efficiently within temperatures from -40 to +50 degrees Celsius. The VHF power output varies from 1 to 2 mW. The GPS receiver and Globalstar transmitter are integrated, making the system versatile for various wildlife applications. Battery life expectancy is approximately three years, though environmental conditions may impact this duration. The device's reliability is enhanced by turning off the GPS engine after five consecutive fixes with a horizontal accuracy of 5 meters or better. The collar is ideal for use in diverse wildlife research and conservation projects.

The Low Profile C-cell collar, starting at $700 USD, is a specialized tracking device designed for precise wildlife monitoring. Utilizing advanced GPS technology, this collar offers a specified accuracy of 2.5 meters CEP and 5 meters SEP, ensuring high precision in tracking animal movements. CEP, or Circular Error Probability, refers to a horizontal circle centered at the true antenna position that contains 50% of the fixes, while SEP, or Spherical Error Probability, is the radius of a sphere centered at the true antenna position containing 50% of the fixes. To meet diverse environmental requirements and ensure reliability, the collar is designed considering various conditions like wide temperature variations that could affect battery life, especially over long deployments. This makes it suitable for extended observational studies in harsh environments.

The Low Profile D-cell collar, priced starting at $700 USD, is a significant innovation in tracking technology, offering robust GPS functionalities with a specified accuracy of 2.5 meters CEP and 5 meters SEP. Circular Error Probability (CEP) indicates the radius of a horizontal circle where 50% of the fixes will be contained, while Spherical Error Probability (SEP) measures the radius of a sphere that encapsulates 50% of the fixes. The collar features a unique operational protocol where the GPS engine is disabled after five consecutive positions (collected at one per second) are attained with horizontal accuracy of 5 meters or less, optimizing battery life and performance. With its advanced design tailored for low-profile applications, this collar is particularly useful for a variety of wildlife tracking and research initiatives. Coupled with the efficient NSG-LD1 Component ensuring extended battery life expectancy and precise antenna weights with Rexolite cover, this device is pivotal for professionals in ecological studies and animal behavior research.
