FastGPS Argos Series

• Rugged hydrodynamic package designs for depths up to 2000m with antenna abrasion protection
• Wet/dry sensor with flexible scheduling and haul-out can significantly extend operating life
• DIVE sensor data includes Max depth, dive time, time at depth index and summary data sent via Argos

Ideal packaging for sharks, pinnipeds and marine turtles in situations where there is little or no chance of recapturing to recover the data.

1. Assuming the density of seawater is 1024 kg/m^3
2. Estimated life calculated with hourly FastGPS locations and a daily limit of 200 Argos transmissions.
