Key Features

  • TGAVS models collect GPS positions and transfer data through the Argos satellite system. This satellite-based system provides global coverage and particularly good performance in the polar regions.
  • Solar powered transmitters provide a longer operational life than units powered by lithium primary batteries.
  • In addition to the GPS and Argos features of these units, they also have an optional VHF transmitter. The VHF transmitters can be used to locate or monitor the eartags from the ground or aircraft.
  • On-board satellite overpass predictions allow efficient data transfer, with units able to be programmed to transmit only to specific satellites and only when the satellites are predicted to be in view.
  • Mortality, activity, temperature, and low-voltage sensors are available. Data can be collected according to user-defined parameters and schedules and transmitted through Argos.
  • A real-time clock/calendar controls all timing functions.
  • Units can be programmed using Telonics Product Programmer (TPP). TPP makes it possible for users to program their own systems and simulate performance of the system prior to deployment.
    • On-board sensors can be activated or deactivated. Data collection regimes and schedules can be altered. Sensor data can be added or deleted from Argos transmissions.
    • Argos ID codes, transmission frequencies, transmission power levels, and transmission schedules can all be modified.
  • Data retrieved through Argos are processed using the Telonics Data Converter (TDC). TDC provides complete data decoding of Argos DS files, including location and sensor data, and provides for plotting of locations in Google Earth.
