EQUIPMENT
All products are custom built in-house to your requirements and we offer a discount on new collar purchases if you return your old ones.
VHF
(VERY-HIGH FREQUENCY)
Real time tracking of animals using a VHF Receiver which picks up VHF signals transmitted by the collar.
UHF
(ULTRA-HIGH FREQUENCY)
Real time tracking of animals using a UHF Transceiver which picks up UHF signals transmitted by the collar and allows you to configure settings and download data.
IR-SAT
(IRIDIUM SATELLITE)
Near real time tracking of animals via Iridium satellites. Includes UHF for manual tracking and over the air settings.
OGI-SAT
(INMARSAT SATELLITE)
Near real time tracking of animals via Inmarsat satellites. Includes UHF for manual tracking and over the air settings.
USING MULTIPLE TAGS IN A SINGLE COLLAR
We fit VHF and UHF trackers with separate batteries as a failsafe mechanism on most collars. This means that VHF will remain active even if the primary tracking device fails.
REFURBISHMENTS
Africa Wildlife Tracking offers a reduced refurbishment fee on all collars provided the old AWT collars are returned. Swapping out collars for new ones can be done at the same time to avoid immobilising the animal twice and have uninterrupted breaks in data. We are constantly analysing old collars and making improvements to future generations. Getting old collars back and incorporating client feedback is a big part of our journey.
