A three-layer network: custom hardware in the field, a mobile app in the researcher's hands, and a cloud backend that captures everything when connectivity allows.
Messages travel over the same LoRa mesh as sensor data. Any researcher can send a text to a specific device or broadcast to all — the system handles delivery with acknowledgements and automatic retries.
Each GPS collar is designed for long-term deployment and built in a customisable size — combining precision positioning, ultra-low power consumption, and wireless remote control via the TRAK network.
GPS fixes transmit over LoRa the moment they're acquired and are simultaneously saved to the collar's internal storage. Locations update live on the researcher's map — no waiting for a manual download or return to camp.
Adjust the transmission interval of any collar from the TRAK app — no recapture needed. Commands queue on the base station and deliver over LoRa the next time the collar is in range.
Set different fix rates for day and night, or tie transmission bursts to movement thresholds. Capture high-resolution data during active periods while conserving battery during rest.
Powered by a high-capacity lithium cell, collars run for months in the field on a standard schedule. Battery level is reported with every transmission so you always know the remaining life.
Every collar transmits a unique device ID. The TRAK app tracks each individual simultaneously, displaying named animals on the map and maintaining full movement histories in the cloud.
