BlūBat – Ultralight 2.4GHz Radio Tag for Species Requiring Nocturnal Detections

The smallest battery-powered, digitally-coded radio tag in its class—engineered for nocturnal and light-sensitive species like bats, night-active birds, and small mammals. Built for reliable detection, long-term deployment, and seamless integration with CTT’s BlūSeries infrastructure.


Key Specifications

  • Weight: 0.16 ± 0.02 g
  • Diameter: 5.00mm
  • Height: 2.75mm
  • Total Length: 3.75 cm (including antenna)
  • Transmission Interval: Configurable to 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, or 60 seconds
  • Transmission Frequency: 2.4 GHz
  • FCC ID: 2AY2B-BTGPT
  • Industry Canada ID: 32683-BTGPT

Transmitted Data

Each transmission includes:

  • Unique Digital ID (100% detection accuracy, no false positives)
  • Signal Strength (RSSI)
  • Battery Voltage (V)

Hardware Features

  • Compact one-piece design with integrated PCB antenna
  • Fully coated for weather resistance and long-term deployment
  • Testing pad to verify transmission and battery voltage prior to deployment
  • No activator required — cut-to-activate

Available in Two Variants

1. BlūBat Standard

  • Compatible with CTT infrastructure (SensorStations, Nodes, Mobile App)
  • Optional Motus registration available separately ($20 per tag)
  • Ideal for localized studies using CTT receivers only

2. BlūBat Expanded (with Blū+) (CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE)

Includes everything in the Standard variant, plus:

  • Blū+ Detection Service
    Enables detection via CTT’s broader IoT-connected network (including cellular-based receivers)
  • Prepaid Motus Registration ($20 value included)
  • Tag is searchable every 5 minutes while Blū+ is active

Note: Blū+ requires a $2/month data plan per tag and must be selected at time of purchase. It cannot be added after shipment.


Why Choose Blū+?

Blū+ dramatically expands your tag’s detection range by integrating with a growing network of IoT-connected receivers. When paired with Motus registration, it delivers:

  • Broader, near real-time detections
  • Rich metadata (e.g., antenna angle, signal quality)
  • Open-data compliant sensor observations
  • Automatic data publishing to platforms like Movebank, GBIF, and Audubon Migratory Bird Explorer
