NEW POSSIBILITIES for your STUDY DESIGN…. LOTEK’s NEW PROXIMITY SYSTEM

Lotek proximity sensors are now available on a wide array of Lotek GPS collar models and tags. With this feature included, two or more collars that are within communication distance of up to 300 feet from each other exchange and log their respective IDs. The GPS location, the duration of their encounters are also logged in the memory and proximity events can trigger a change in the GPS schedule.

Lotek’s new GPS collars with contact proximity logging … helping you answer new questions:

WHO was involved ?
WHAT happened ?
WHERE did the proximity event occur ?
WHEN did the proximity event occur ?
WHY did the proximity event happen ?
HOW long were animals in proximity to each other ?
HOW often were the proximity events ?

WHERE did the contact occur NOW POSSIBLE:
A proximity event triggered GPS location improves the spacial and temporal understanding of the interaction.
VIT and expandable collar integration:
The GPS collars equipped with proximity technology can be integrated with tags such VIT and expandable collars to create more complex system allowing satellite alert for events such as birth, absence and mortality.
Expanding the array of species that can be studied:
Assess intra-specific contact rates of secretive, nocturnal or otherwise unobservable species. Moreover, this technology can be used for species that can carry collars weighing 10g - 600g.
Increased memory capacity:
To capture even more contact events and for a longer period of time.

Product Applications

Predator prey interactions, kill site analysis, predation efficiency, reproductive strategies, competition for food resources, fawn/calf/lamb/kid/foal survival, yearling – adult separation times,
Product Specifications

Far Proximity (up to 300 feet)

For studies involving doe-fawn interactions, predator prey and or others the detection radius can be user modified.

NOTE: The actual range of proximity signals is determined by many factors other than transmitter’s power, receiver’s sensitivity, and frequency range used. They can be: transmitter’s and receiver’s antenna elevation above the ground – which are dependent on species under study, animal’s neck size – which determines antenna length and type, terrain, vegetation, etc. It is possible, especially while studying small animals, that what we call far proximity exhibits range of a few tens of feet only.
