Iridium Satellite Data Transfer: Enhanced Connectivity for Wildlife Research
Our GPS collars, including those weighing as little as 5.6 grams, have the amazing ability to transmit GPS data via Iridium satellite technology. This capability allows all of our products, not just those designed for big game, to report from even the most inaccessible areas of the world. Because it has a global footprint, Iridium is unlike the traditional cellular network systems, having the potential to transmit data over the web to researchers. This satellite capability in all regions significantly enhances data analysis and gathering, making our devices indispensable for wildlife biologists.
The application of Iridium satellite technology in the integration guarantees that the data is sent reliably and securely regardless of the environment. This facilitates scientists to keep up with their subjects‘ locations and actions for better decision making and understanding of wildlife trends. Furthermore, Iridium technology minimizes risk of data loss – a purely critical factor where research is being conducted on threatened and endangered species, or where long-term ecological studies are being conducted. Our GPS devices, with Iridium satellite data transmission, give wildlife researchers confidence in continued communication and valuable data collection, no matter how isolated study sites might be.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the three most commonly asked questions but please do not hesitate to reach out to us at your convenience.
This depends on several factors including the battery technology, the temperature during the study, the capacity of the battery, the amount of current required by the GPS, the habitat, the GPS schedule and much more.
All of our products can send you information by satellite. The range of the data download varies depending upon conditions. The radio portion of the download has been demonstrated to work up to 40 km., but this is maximum under ideal conditions.
