This commitment continued with the founding of Advanced Telemetry Systems in 1981 by a core group of engineers and biologists from Cedar Creek. These men and women had been instrumental in fielding the first successful automated animal tracking system.

We are a privately held corporation located in Isanti, Minn., a rural community about forty-five minutes north of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Our most recent expansion, completed in 2004, more than doubled the size of our facility. Today, our building includes space for over fifty ATS employees, and houses our research and development, sales and customer service, and manufacturing operations.

To learn more about the history of radio telemetry, we suggest reading Animal Tracking Signals, a book by Carolyn Kuechle, published in 2009. Carolyn is the wife of Larry Kuechle, ATS’s Engineering Manager and former President.
