08 Apr Enhanced Satellite Connectivity for Satellite Tracking

Argos coverage was recently bolstered by the successful launch of the final five nanosats last month. This marks the fifth launch by Kinéis and Rocket Labs and further expands the capabilities of the Argos system.

Wildlife Computers clients rely heavily on satellite-based data transmission for tracking wildlife. The new nanosats will “drastically reduce the end-to-end latency in data reception, making near real-time tracking a reality,” said Christel Delmas, Head of CLS Environment & Climate Monitoring Services Department.

Researchers and scientists can expect optimized reception quality even in the most remote locations where traditional communication methods often fail. “Users will benefit from greater accuracy and efficiency in tracking and monitoring.”

With improved coverage, more data can be transmitted back to the researchers, providing a richer understanding of behavior, migration patterns, habitat use, and more. Users will
get more data points, better coverage, and improved service availability, along with the ability to reconfigure devices remotely,” said Delmas.

As the Argos constellation comes online sometime later this year, it paves the way for new opportunities in data-driven insights and actionable intelligence. This latest launch of nanosats for the Argos Services represents a significant step forward in enhancing satellite connectivity to help better understand what your animal is doing, when they are doing it, and how they are doing it.
