Biotags Telemetry Systems - Wildlife Electronic Tags

Electronic radio frequency tags for remote tracking and population studies
Biotags endeavors to provide ecologists and wildlife researchers with the latest electronic, radio frequency (RF) tag technology at minimum per-unit cost. Through automated manufacturing, Biotags' products optimize price and performance.

More individuals, better statistics
Because our digital tags and data receivers cost less than industry standard ID products, ecologists and researchers can tag significantly larger numbers of individuals within the same budget, yielding more data and thus better statistical results for population studies.


		Biotags offers two digital-ID product families , the Multi-ID and Micro-ID, which provide exceptional reception range, low cost and small physical size and mass for wild-release population studies. Both the Multi-ID and Micro-ID product lines implement the same advanced error-correction and detection codes to virtually eliminate reception errors. The Multi-ID and Micro-ID differ in telemetry reception range and physical size, with the Multi-ID offering reception ranges exceeding 1 mile and the Micro-ID providing the smallest physical tag size and mass. In addition, the Multi-ID and Micro-ID products are customizable in small lots at the factory for data values and RF transmission repetition rates. Biotags Multi-ID product line also provides continuous monitoring of two environmental variables, conductance and body temperature, which are essential to salmon predation studies. The conductance measurement detects predation by cold blooded species while the temperature measurement detects predation by warm blooded species.

How can Biotags produce advanced RF-ID tags at the lowest cost? Using the same technology that allows PC microprocessors to operate beyond 1 GHz, Biotags designed and optimized the micro-sized, low power digital circuits found in the Multi-ID and Micro-ID product lines. Biotags uses state of the art, commercially available integrated circuits and miniature surface-mount component technology in all the tag versions, yielding products that are cost effective to build and easy to customize in small lots.

Due to Biotags' innovative use of audio-spectrum error-correction codes, researchers don't need to purchase specialized RF receivers. Through the use of commercially available YAGI antennas, standard VHF audio receivers, handheld terminals and Biotags' new-technology low cost digital decoder, our engineers can inexpensively configure wildlife tracking systems meeting specific researchers' requirements.
