MicroTraX BioLoc GPS battery tags at 10g and 26g and collars from 50g.

MicroTraX Solar BioLoc tags with additonal Argos link at 21g.

Tags include GPS, memory, programmable 3D accelerometers (on collars and Argos tag), temperature and UHF link.  Solar tags with Argos link with a Geofencing option. GPS accuracy is also programmable and 2m is acheivable in open sky area. Transmitters operate from -20°C to +60°C. 

Radio link has been field tested to remotely connect with transmitters from 1 km to 136 kms to program, to reprogram or to download data with the BioLoc base station. 

Each tag/collar is fully programmable at production or by the scientist.  Communication with the tags in the field is via our own anntena and receiver which plugs into the USB connetion on a laptop.  All the software is included for the scientist to easily programme and download data.   

Available as tags, back-pack, collar, ear-tag, tape or  "glue-on's".  Tags can be made into a collar as well.

BioLoc Base Station.

Data collected from multiple tags via the BioLoc Base Station which is completely autonomous.  The system is solar powered and is fully :
  • Automatic
  • Easy to deploy
  • Waterproof and sturdy
  • Energy self-sufficient
The communication range can reach up to 50 kms (recently tested to 136km). This base station has an internal GPS. The GPS format is programmable and compatible on Google Earth and Google Maps. This system can communicate with up to 240 transmitters simultaneously.Each BioLoc base station are delivered with omni-directional antennas.If you want more range and you have less than 120° communication’s angle, we could provide specific antennas.
 

BioLoc USB

The USB Key plugged into a laptop allows you the opportunity to communicate with all BioLoc transmitters in the field to download data, reprogram transmitters, switch on some options, update new firmware and/or activate the “Rescue mode” in case of mortality. The software is pre-loaded onto the BioLoc USB.

The BioLoc USB has been developped for short range communication up to 1 km Line of Sight.
