FastGPS is fast acquisition GPS technology designed for marine animals which only surface briefly. Raw locations and basic dive data are then relayed back to the researcher via the Argos satellite system.
Unique FastGPS technology enables a snapshot of GPS signals to be taken in a fraction of a second compared to conventional GPS which can take tens of seconds. FastGPS raw data is automatically post-processed and can be viewed and downloaded via a secure web portal.
Ideal packaging for sharks, pinnipeds and marine turtles in situations where there is little or no chance of recapturing to recover the data.
