PinPoint GPS Argos for birds & bats

Amazing Functionality for such a Small Size
Starting at just 4.0 g, not only can these tags log accurate GPS locations, they can also transmit those locations to Argos satellites around the world, so you don’t need to know where your animal is going, it will tell you.

User-friendly Scheduler
Scheduling tags is both easy and has great flexibility to get the locations exactly when you want

Convenient Data Processing
Download the data from the ARGOS web platform and convert into spreadsheets or GoogleEarth files.

Customised Packaging
For more robust encapsulation or antennas discuss with our telemetry specialists. Solar options also available.

PinPoint Argos tags are especially useful for small species when the dispersal or migration routes are unknown, as this innovative tag sends GPS locations to Argos satellites, providing global coverage.

The smallest GPS with global remote download, filling a role where mobile phone or Iridium download are too heavy for your species.

1. Tags can be further customised for attachment method, antenna strength and potting level. Note that these options will affect weight and dimensions. Please contact one of our Avian Telemetry Specialists to discuss your project requirements.
2. Locations may be attempted, but the bird’s behaviour can prevent GPS communication and Argos data download.

Other battery sizes available, please contact one of our Telemetry Specialists to find out more.

A PinPoint DLC is required for scheduling the tag, and downloading locations if it is retrieved after deployment.

An Argos account is required to use the Argos data download, with an Argos ID Code for each tag. Your Avian Telemetry Specialist can provide more information about this; please contact us for more details.
