Description :

This Cattle Tracker Tag, a product by Gemtek, is designed to contain an RFID for cattle identification and also LoRa transmission for network servers to position that particular cattle based on RSSI data from receiving gateways. The internal battery can sustain continuous LoRa transmission every 15 minutes for 1 day without charging. Each tag is equipped with a solar panel to keep charging and replenish the battery for continuous operation. Every 15 minutes, the tag will report the battery status to a LoRa network. Based on the RSSI data from the group of gateways that receive the same message, the LoRa server can position the tag either by our patented Smart Positioning using RSSI fingerprint or by trilateration.

Use cases:

1. Livestock Monitoring: The Gemtek Cattle Tracker Tag WSMS-127 is designed for monitoring and tracking individual cattle within a herd. It enables farmers and ranchers to monitor the location, behavior, and health status of their cattle in real-time. This allows for better management of grazing patterns, identification of potential health issues, and tracking of individual animal performance.

2. Grazing Optimization: With the WSMS-127, farmers can track the movement patterns and grazing behavior of their cattle. This data can be used to optimize grazing areas, rotate pastures, and prevent overgrazing. By ensuring efficient use of available grazing resources, farmers can improve the overall health and productivity of their cattle.

3. Health and Wellness Monitoring: The tracker tag enables continuous monitoring of vital parameters such as body temperature, activity levels, and rumination behavior. This data can help identify signs of illness, stress, or abnormal behavior in individual cattle. Early detection of health issues allows for timely intervention and improves overall herd health.
