Unit Types (click thumbnails above for details)

GPS-GSM units by Ecotone Telemetry record data and send those directly to your computer when they encounter a cell phone communications network, worldwide.

  • Solar units send data remotely for multiple years.  
  • They are produced at weights as low as 13g, which enables remote monitoring of avian movements for species as light as 250g.  
  • High efficiency equipment enables constant location recording as often as every 15 minutes.

GPS-GPRS-GSM-UHF units by e-obs record data and send those directly to your computer using telecommunications networks in a way similar to the GPS-GSM units, but with substantially more data efficiency (thousands of locations).  UHF system allows direct downloading and control with hand-held system when units are nearby.

  • Units can "smartly" manage power and sampling, such that data are collected at very high rates when batteries are charged.
  • Sophisticated sampling regimes and duty cycles that respond to movement.
  • Solar units send extreme amounts of data for many years.
  • A "pinger" system allows directional tracking with VHF-like system by e-obs.

GPS-UHF sensors by e-obs and Ecotone Telemetry record data and send those to a hand-held or mounted receiver.

  • GPS-UHF sensors are lightweight (as low as 4.5g).
  • Provide energy efficiency that allows point-logging as frequently as every 5 minutes in direct sunlight, or every second on batteries.
  • e-obs tags record at rates of 1 point per second, and automatically "super-burst" record at high battery levels. 
  • Collect and log up to 1 million points, which are then transmitted to a hand-held or fix-mounted receiver system across distances as great as 6km.  
  • Constructed in a number of configurations for use on species as light as 90g, and specialized recording regimes can be programmed by the user.

GPS-GSM-UHF sensors  by Ecotone Telemetry combine the benefits of telecommunications data transmission and remote hand-held data download.

  • GSM remote downloads.
  • UHF communications to facilitate data download when study subjects are not within range of a GSM network.  
  • The sensors are available in a number of configurations and at weights as low as 17g for use on species as light as 350g.
