The CTT Node is an innovation that allows you to automatically localize LifeTag and PowerTags with a high degree of accuracy. For example, CTT Nodes can be placed at multiple nesting sites to detect presence or absence.
If deployed in a grid fashion, the CTT Nodes can operate as “reverse GPS”, providing near GPS accuracy.
The CTT Node uploads received tag detection data to the standard CTT base station, creating a dense, high resolution tracking network. Solar power recharges batteries in the CTT Base Stations and Nodes.
Each CTT Node has a detectable range of about 250-300 meters, and is able to relay data to a CTT Base Station as far away as several kilometers.
