Optimizing Wildlife Data Retrieval with More Frequent Data Download Opportunities

In the constantly changing landscape of wildlife studies, efficiency is one of the key factors of success in data collection and analysis. Our advanced GPS tracking devices are designed with the particular requirements of field-working biologists in mind. These units transmit accurate GPS coordinates over a wireless transceiver to a compact handheld mobile base station. They automatically report their presence to the base station every 10th minute, although the default interval of 10 minutes can prove to be counter-intuitive when researchers have multiple tracking devices in use at once.

We know flexibility is necessary and endow customers with the power to change the advert period of their GPS devices before deployment. This flexibility allows researchers to individualize the advert interval of the GPS devices to their working needs. For example, shortening the time between ads to 15 seconds allows biologists to have up to 40 data downloading chances in a 10-minute span. This is an enormous increase in data downloading chanceswhich smoothes out field operations and minimizes dead time within the time spent waiting for critical location updates.

Facilitating the researcher to adjust the time intervals for advertisements allows us to help them make every minute meaningful for getting timely and pertinent informationIn this way, we allow biologists to focus on the very crucial task of learning and conserving wildlife while we take care of providing precise location information conveniently.
