ES420

Cellular Network Product

NEWEST TECHNOLOGY

LTE M1 + GPS + ACC

The ES420 is our lightest, most powerful transmitter yet.

With a world band LTE M1 radio, and the ability to transmit on over 400 cellular networks around the world, you will enjoy global coverage — no matter where your animal goes. ES420 operates exclusively on LTE M1 networks. LTE M1 has replaced 2G and 3G networks, providing longer range and lighter transmitters.

The LTE M1 network also allows for much greater power savings, allowing the ES420 to operate with smaller batteries, further reducing weight. The ES420 also retains the ES400's advanced positioning system, obtaining signals from not just GPS, but other GNSS constellations, such as GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS. The ES420 uses all 5 of these systems to provide the best possible position in the fastest amount of time. Since the GPS is typically the largest power consumer of a wildlife telemetry device, this drastically reduces power consumption even further.

We also do not compromise the quality by quickly obtaining inaccurate GPS positions. Our algorithm balances position quality with power consumption, making each position extremely accurate.

Every ES420 comes with Activity Index, allowing the researcher to quickly analyze behavior for signs of mortality, illness, breeding, and habitat usage. Sensors for temperature, battery voltage, and solar charging are also included.

Flight Mode allows the researcher to capture extremely high resolution and detailed positioning data during times of flight, while reducing the duty cycle at times of rest.

The ES420 supports multiple nested geofences, which can be used to change duty cycle or alert the researcher of proximity to an area, such as entering the perimeter of a wind farm or other dangerous areas.

Every ES420 contains a triple axis accelerometer, with options for additional degrees of freedom, such as gyroscope and magnetometer. Other accessories such as pressure sensing, SmartVHF, and the ability to receive LifeTagsâ„¢ and PowerTagsâ„¢ are also available.

The ES420 starts as low as 10 grams, and is available in both solar charging and battery powered variants.

All data from the ES420 is transmitted to the CTT Data Portal, allowing advanced data analysis within the cloud, along with the ability to export data.

All of our GSM and LTE devices feature an internal antenna. With no external antennas to become damaged by an animal, our transmitters are some of the most reliable in the world.
