Attachment Methods

Cellular Tracking Technologies provides a variety of case designs to fit your species in the most ergonomic way. Our devices include batteries that are solar rechargeable, therefore the overall device life can be extended across multiple breeding seasons. The majority of the weight and size associated with each case is based on the battery. A trade off exists between battery size and the rate at which GPS fixes can be acquired given a steady input of solar energy. The page below provides an overview of the four main cases types we offer, and provides the recommended GPS duty cycle based on the battery and solar panel size typically used with the case.
