GPS tags
Satellite tracking devices
GPS tags are small electronic devices that use Global Positioning System satellites to track location.
They're attached to animals, vehicles, packages, or other items to monitor movement and position in real time: Researchers fitted the wolves with GPS tags to study their migration patterns.
The technology enables wildlife research, fleet management, and asset tracking.
