Fast, remote, download - GPS collar to PDA


Download with PDA - easy download - no frequency fiddling

It works like this

Track the animals using your existing VHF receiver. The remote data download feature works like this. Your study animals are wearing Telemetry Solutions Quantum™ 5000 GPS collars and you, the wildlife biologist, track those animals via the VHF beacons in the GPS collars. You can do this wildlife tracking using your existing VHF receiver. We build the GPS collars with VHF beacons on frequencies that you designate therefore your existing VHF receivers are compatible.

Choice to release the collar, download data or both

If you decide to download the data you will use the very small UHF transceiver and PDA. You can download either all of the data stored in the collar or just the data that has been collected since the last time that you performed a download.

Remote download at 2500 positions per minute!

The Quantum™ 5000 is ready and waiting for your command. The Quantum™ 5000 GPS collar contains a 420 MHz transceiver that looks for your command once every 30 seconds.
Using your PDA, you select the command that will instruct your GPS collar to download data. That command is transmitted from your 420 MHz antenna out to the collar. Then a two way link, or handshake, is established between the transceiver that you have with you and the one in the Quantum™ 5000 GPS collar. After that the GPS data stored in the collar will be transmitted to you at the rate of 2500 positions per minute.

Real time transmission statistics - repeat your download if needed!

That transmitted data will be stored in your PDA's SD card. After the transmission is complete you can view the transmission statistics on your PDA. If you are satisfied with the data transmission you can proceed and track the next animal for its data.
