Problem
Field researchers and livestock managers often lack reliable, long‑range tracking for animals in remote or rugged territories where cellular coverage is sparse or nonexistent. Conventional GPS collars require frequent battery changes and provide limited data integration, hindering timely detection of abnormal behavior and efficient herd or wildlife monitoring.
Solution
NIX delivers rugged, multi‑network GPS collars that combine GSM, LTE‑M, NB‑IoT, LoRa and satellite links to maintain connectivity across >90 % of global land area. Each collar is lightweight (<170 g), IP67‑rated, and equipped with a rechargeable or long‑life battery lasting 6–24 months depending on reporting frequency. Data from the collars are streamed to a secure cloud backend and visualized in the NIX App, a web‑ and mobile‑based platform that offers real‑time location, high‑resolution 2D/3D mapping, activity logs, and configurable geofencing alerts via email or SMS. Users can adjust sampling intervals remotely, generate species‑specific health dashboards, and export data for research or regulatory reporting, all while retaining full ownership of their data.
Target Audience
Primary customers are wildlife researchers, conservation NGOs, and extensive livestock operations (cattle, sheep, goats, horses) that require reliable, long‑range animal telemetry and behavior analytics.
