Arc2 Series – Geolocation via Light, Pressure, Temperature and Magnetics

  • Product Type Icon Tag

For collection and storage of precise time stamped depth, temperature and light-based geolocation data

Introducing the Lotek Arc2 Geolocation Archival tags, part of a new generation of archival tags, the Lotek Arc2 series. The product of over 25 years of archival tag design and manufacturing experience, from the company that achieved the longest light-based geolocation track ever: over 9 years!

Arc2 tags are more energy efficient than their predecessors. They have larger memory and now employ metal housings for additional robustness in deep water applications.
