We have recently shipped the first batch of tracking collars for monitoring the location and behavior of bovidae: The Tracking Collar 'Bull'

With our new LoRaWAN-enabled GPS tracking collar it is possible to gain insight into the movement and behavior of bovidae such as cattle, sheep, horses and similarly-sized bovidae. The collar is easy to attach and has a very long battery life (1+ year using GPS). The Bull+ adds an IMU to its features. Due to the devices' data storage capability, migrating individuals, or populations in topologically challenging terrain can be tracked all year round without any data gaps.

Features

• Tracking of cattle, deer, sheep, horses and similarly-sized animals
• Full-season monitoring & tracking (1+ year runtime)
• Movement behavior analysis using accelerometer
• Stores location data during connectivity gaps
• Rugged, waterproof housing (IP67)

Thanks to the rugged, waterproof housing, the device is made for all-weather use in rough environments. The devices and batteries have been tested in temperatures down to -20°C, and continue to function normally under these conditions.
