North Star - Low Profile C-cell collar
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.
