LifeTag
THE TAG WITH NEARLY UNLIMITED LIFE
Get Years of Telemetry
Capture data like never before with our long-lasting, solar-powered LifeTag™. These small-but-mighty tags can collect data for years without the worry of battery performance. Starting at just 0.45g, our LifeTags provide increased study flexibility all while using less equipment at an affordable price.
The battery-free design, and subsequently sub-gram weight, of our LifeTag opens the door to tagging smaller animals without compromising the duration of the project.
With different attachment options, the LifeTag delivers the data you need over the life of your animal. As long as sun reaches the solar panel, the tag will continue to beep.
Developed in collaboration with Cornell University, the LifeTag’s groundbreaking design was aimed specifically at addressing the needs of small animal researchers. The simplicity of the system is the basis for its reliability and ease of deployment.

Each LifeTag emits a globally-unique digital ID, allowing researchers to discern between almost unlimited animals, projects, and studies
Unlike other radio tag technologies, our digital IDs cannot be confused with noise bursts and other false positives.

Our LifeTag, PowerTag, and HybridTag can all be received by our line of SensorStations as well as the Motus network, CTT Locator, CTT Nodes, and our Evolution Series devices.
Customize your network of automated receivers to record incredibly localized data as well as across continents. Data are transmitted to our user-friendly web portal. CTT Nodes and SensorStations support multiple studies simultaneously
LifeTags transmit the same range, or better, as traditional VHF radio tags.
