About the Rainier-S20
The Wildlife Computers Rainier-S20 tag is a rechargeable, solar
powered, GPS-equipped Argos transmitter (PTT) specifically designed
for birds. The Rainier-S20 is suitable for birds weighing as little as 650
grams to be tracked with GPS precision and accuracy over land and
sea for multiple seasons.
The tag collects GPS locations and other sensor data on a flexible,
customer-programmable schedule saved prior to deployment. The
archived data are stored locally as well as transmitted via the Argos
satellite network.
The Wildlife Computers cloud-based portal automatically downloads
and processes the data and makes it available in near real time.
