Our smart GPS technology revolutionizes wildlife studies by utilizing the latest technology to enhance the productivity of GPS trackers. With the addition of an accelerometer that records activity movement between scheduled GPS points, our trackers can intelligently determine if an animal is resting or sleeping. This newly acquired power-saving function prevents the device from wasting its battery on useless attempts at GPS when, say, animals have been known to sleep in GPS signal-less places like hollow trees. This will translate into a longer battery life, higher success in GPS, and a more detailed and precise dataset with fewer missed locations for the researchers.

This technology not only extends the lifespan of our gear, but also enhances data quality in animal studies substantially. By ending duplicate GPS attempts in inactive states, researchers can achieve quality data in active modes of animal behavior. This capability is now available on all of our devices at no further cost, allowing our customers to benefit from extended battery life, improved GPS success rates, and a larger body of data, to take their wildlife studies to the next level.

And as if that was not enough, the datasets also include date and time stamps for attempts at GPS locations skipped due to inactivity or low activity.
