PowerTag
OUR UHF BATTERY TAG
Long-range radio racking without solar
The PowerTagâ„¢ is our battery-powered variant of the LifeTagâ„¢. You get the same functionality, but with the ability to transmit day and night. The PowerTag gives you long-range radio frequency tracking for nocturnal species or animals that swim or burrow.
Each PowerTag contains a globally unique digital ID. This allows you to track unlimited animals across various projects and studies.
Unlike other radio tag technologies, our digital IDs cannot be confused with noise bursts and other false positives. So you get clean data you can count on.
The PowerTag works great on many species. For example, the PowerTag is a great system for tracking reptiles such as snakes, diamondback terrapin, sea turtles and box turtles. Other small species like rodents such as kangaroo rats and mice have also been tracked with the PowerTag. You can also document the movement of nocturnally-active birds such as kiwis, rails, and various songbirds. PowerTags have even been used to track flying foxes!
Use the PowerTag with the SensorStation for long-range radio frequency tracking. Add CTT Nodes for fine-scale movement data on your particular species. You can also find your animals in the field with the Locator!
