TGSAT family of products is a GPS-Iridium tool specialized for Wildlife tracking applications.
It is not only a GPS receiver that sends information via Satellite so you can receive it conveniently on your computer, no matter where you are. It is much more.
Among its main features are the best and latest in hardware and software technology available as of 2017, along with 7 extra sensors: 3 axis Magnetometer, 3 axis Accelerometer, Activity Level, Temperature, Battery voltage, Activity-inactivity and Mortality. Also included are features like Geofence, Speed, Data to estimate GPS accuracy, Hibernation, VHF transmitter, Notifications field, and optional Drop-off and Water sensors.
What differentiates us from other companies is our patent pending preventive shield system. This is the capacity of the units to self-monitor hundreds of possible scenarios and recover on their own if necessary, thus greatly increasing reliability. Our programming software is also a state of the art development. With it, you can program your itineraries almost without restrictions, from being able to take GPS and/or Sensors readings up to once per minute to the ability to select ranges (for example, you can take GPS and/or sensor readings every x minutes from yy:yy to zz:zz hours), specific times, or a combination of both, and mix different itineraries for different days.
Starting at 140 grams our GPS-Iridium units are among the lightest of this technology worldwide. We customize every order with standard and customer-defined features such as battery size, attachment technique (collar, backpack, harness, etc), attachment materials, shape, weight and/or size restrictions, etc. We always keep in mind that animal comfort and welfare are of great importance.
As we care about nature conservation and research, we have recently increased our Best Price Guarantee in which we promise to keep our prices at least 20% cheaper than other comparable system from other well-recognized wildlife tracking manufacturers.
We are so confident in our technology and reliability that we offer an extended warranty option for up to 3 years. If you are still hesitant, you can lease a unit for your own testing so you can be fully convinced.
- Extremely low power consumption: For example, Collars at around 800 grams can last for up to 5 years at 6 GPS locations per day (Satellite transmission included)
- Active GPS antenna and dual GPS-GLONASS receiver: Allows for greater sensitivity, higher success rates and faster GPS time to fix
- 100% Wireless: Allows the unit to be fully encapsulated providing greater protection against outdoor conditions and treatment by wildlife
- Data Output:
GPS Data: Time / Date / Altitude / Latitude / Longitude / Speed
- Satellites Visible / HDOP: To estimate GPS accuracy per fix
- Activity Level: Allows you to measure how much activity the animal was having at the programmed time. Example: Resting would give 0, walking ~10, running ~20, fighting ~50
- 3 axis accelerometer: Measures the acceleration or “G” forces in X, Y and Z planes. In the absence of G forces, it measures Gravity to estimate position (mostly inclination)
3 axis magnetometer: Measures magnetic fields in X, Y and Z planes. In the absence of any stronger magnetic force it measures the Earth’s Magnetic Field so it can be used to estimate position (mostly direction)
- Temperature: Accuracy ± 2°C. Resolution 0.1°C
- GPS Battery voltage: Indicates when the GPS battery is close to ending
- Mortality: Notification sent in case the unit has not moved for a predetermined amount of time
