Each of the tracked individuums was tagged with one of Copernicus Technologies' Ear Tag Trackers, which regularly transmits the GPS position of the animal to a gateway of the Swiss national LoRaWAN network provider Swisscom. The tags have a range of many kilometers and store data points in the rare case of lacking connectivity.
Project Description
- Wild boar tracking with easy-to-use ear tags
- Higly accurate GNSS localisation
- Full-season monitoring thanks to very low power consumption
- Dynamic data storage as automatic backup mechanism
- Using the Swiss LoRaWAN network
In below image it is clearly visible that the animals have specific hideouts in the woods, and that they prefer certain farm lands over others.
