- Essentially a separate ruggedized pod with different attachment mechanisms for different animals (ie a dog/cat collar, a bird leg tag, and a dolphin/shark/whale tag version)
Used For
- Ecological Studies
- Very Smart (Via Software) Pasture Rotations
- Quick Location of Animals for Things Such as Veterinary Care
- Easy ID of Animals
- Easy Care/Return of Lost Animals
Industry Standards
