Rechargeable, ultra-lightweight dataloggers
Lotek has introduced an innovative family of GPS products (LiteTrack) intended for small mammals. The MicroGPS+ compliments the LiteTrack range of GPS tracking with its GPS collar-like features (flexible GPS, VHF and remote download scheduling) in a small rechargeable glue on package for species that will not carry a collar. The MicoGPS + features:
- A rechargeable battery for multiple deployments
- Is housed in a streamlined yet tough shell
- Is capable of downloading and uploading data while on animal
Tailor the MicroGPS+ to your study and your species by choosing from a range of options below. For example, maximize battery life by taking advantage of ‘SWIFT’ fix GPS technology or utilize a horizontal external antenna streamlined along the animals back to mimic animal body movements in and out of small spaces. Best of all, recharge and redeploy the MicroGPS+ to continue to collect data over an extended period with intense sampling at times of interest. These models can be scheduled, downloaded and recharged from the same interface. These units are depth tested to 10 meters which can facilitate semiaquatic shallow dwelling species.
Options
- External Whip Antenna: Vertical or Horizontal
- SWIFT fixes for many more locations
- Mortality indication
- Remote data download and upload
- Flexible scheduling of GPS + VHF + RF communication for extended operating life
- VHF beacon, activity, temperature, proximity
