Problem
Wildlife researchers often face challenges in gathering comprehensive data on animal behavior and movement across large areas without the need for frequent recapture. Traditional VHF telemetry provides limited data points, hindering detailed analysis of animal activities and habitat use.
Solution
Milsar provides advanced animal telemetry devices equipped with GPS and remote data download capabilities, enabling researchers to collect detailed data without recapturing animals. Their product line includes GPS loggers, UHF GPS loggers, and GPS GSM loggers, allowing for data retrieval via radio or cellular networks. The devices can record geographical coordinates, speed, altitude, pressure, acceleration, angular speed (using a gyroscope), terrestrial magnetism (using a magnetometer), temperature, and light intensity. Data is transmitted to a base station, which can be carried by a researcher or placed in the field, and supports up to 100 loggers.
Target Audience
Milsar's primary customers are wildlife researchers, biologists, and conservationists who require detailed animal tracking and environmental data for their studies.
