Get never-before captured data over multiple seasons, year after year, without worry of battery life, more flexibility and less equipment. All starting at 0.45g!
The sub-gram weight and battery-free design of our new LifeTag™ allows you to tag smaller animals, and not compromise the duration of the project. With different attachment options and an affordable price, the LifeTag delivers the data you need over the life of your animal!

The solar powered LifeTag was developed specifically to address the needs of small animal researchers. The simplicity of the system is the basis for the reliability and ease of deployment.
Each LifeTag/PowerTag™ emits a globally unique digital ID, allowing researchers to discern between almost unlimited animals and differentiate between different projects and studies.
Unlike other radio tag technologies, our digital IDs cannot be confused with noise bursts and other false positives.
Our LifeTag and PowerTag can be received by our line of Base Stations, as well as the Motus network, CTT Locator, CTT Nodes, and our Evolution Series devices.
The ground-breaking design was developed by Cornell University researchers and engineers and improved by Cellular Tracking Technologies. Our LifeTag is the latest in the legacy of innovations from Cellular Tracking Technologies, designed by and for biologists. Don’t settle for anything other than Cellular Tracking Technologies transmitters.
Customize your own network of automated receivers, allowing you to record very localized data and data across continents. Data are transmitted to our easy to use web portal. CTT Nodes and Base Stations support multiple studies simultaneously.
Each LifeTag/PowerTag transmits a globally unique digital ID, allowing researchers to discern between almost unlimited animals and differentiate between different animals, projects and studies.
Unlike other radio tag technologies, our digital IDs cannot be confused with noise bursts and other false positives.
LifeTag/PowerTag transmit the same range, or better, as traditional VHF radio tags.
