radio tags

Animal tracking transmitters

Radio tags are small electronic devices that transmit radio signals for tracking or identification.

They're attached to animals in wildlife research, merchandise for inventory control, or assets for logistics monitoring.

The technology ranges from simple RFID chips activated by scanners to GPS-enabled transmitters that broadcast location data: Researchers fitted the wolves with radio tags to track migration patterns.
