Cellular Tracking Technologies now offers two new Argos satellite options: The Evolution Series 100 and Evolution Series 150. The Argos satellite system operates world wide, in any location!
The Evolution Series 100 has broken the Argos price barrier, allowing for low cost, low weight Argos positioning. The ES-100 has no battery to wear out, allowing years of solar powered operation. The ES-100 is perfect for long distance migration studies on a budget.
ES-100 has options available as low as 10 grams, while the expanded functionality of the ES-150 can weigh in as little as 15 grams.
For projects that need GPS level accuracy, the Evolution Series 150 is another high quality, low cost innovation.
The ES-150 features our highly advanced multi-constellation GNSS/GPS receiver, triple axis accelerometer and other sensors.
The ES-150 features smart Argos duty cycles, where Argos can be configured to transmit only when needed, and certain days of the month. This can substantially reduce Argos data charges, further reducing operating costs.
