Worlds smallest cattle livestock GPS tracker

Measuring only 2.2″, the GSatSolar is the worlds smallest and most powerful livestock GPS tracker.  Not only is this the smallest tracker, but it is also the lightest tracker in its class, weighing only 29 grams. 

Adaptable to all types of animals

The GSatSolar can be easily connected to the ear of your cattle with the use of a universal tagger.  Or you can easily connect the GSatSolar to a collar.  This makes our tracker one of the most adaptable and universal cattle tracking devices on the market.

This tracker is designed only for tracking cattle.  If you are interested in tracking other types of animals using this same tag, please contact us for pricing information.

Satellite GPS Coverage Map

Global coverage

The GSatSolar uses the Globalstar LEO satellite constellation to transmit animal location data as fast as every 1 hour.  Our tracker does not use cellular service, which means your tracker will work almost anywhere on the planet.

Affordable animal GPS tracking

The GSatSolar has one of the lowest up-front investments and includes 3 years of service.  While other tracking systems require that you deploy an infrastructure and gateways, simple attach the GSatRancher to your livestock, and you are ready to track. 

How fast can the device update?

The GSatRancher is designed to update the animal location as frequently as your operation requires.  Some ranchers may only need 1 location update per day, while others may need more real-time data.  We offer the following update frequencies:

  • Every 6 Hours
Battery Life GPS

What happens after the first 3 years

Just like your cell phone, batteries and electronic parts wear out.  After a few years of use on your cell phone, you may notice your battery not lasting as long.  The same goes for our GPS trackers.  After 3 years of service, the battery and solar panel will be too weak to continue to operate correctly.  At that point, you can remove the tag and dispose of it.  The tag can not be reused.

GENERAL WARNINGS

Warning – Modifications:

Changes or modifications to the internal parts not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Warning – Blasting Area:

To avoid interference with blasting operations, turn your transmitter off when in a “Blasting Area” or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Warning – Potential Explosive Atmosphere:

Turn off the transmitter or any product with the transmitter installed when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. (End products specifically designed to work in Explosive Atmospheres are to follow their certification guidelines.)

Warning – Pacemakers:

The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between the transmitter and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.

Warning – Hearing Aids:

Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In order to prevent such interference, you may want to consult the manufacturer of your hearing aid.

Warning – Specific Absorption Rate (SAR):

FCC / Canada:

The transmitter has been shown to be compliant to localized Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/ general exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE STD C95.1-1992 and has been tested in accordance with measurement procedure specified in IEEE 1528-2013 and IEC 62209- 2.2010 using a separation distance of 20 cm.

European Union (CE RED):

The transmitter has been shown to be compliant for localized specific absorption rate (SAR) for uncontrolled environment / general exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE Std. C95.1-1999 and has been tested in accordance with the measurement procedures specified in EN50566:2017 and EN62209- 2:2010 using a separation distance of 20 cm.

NOTE: If concerned about RF exposure during use, place the transmitter away from your body. The RF exposure level drops off dramatically with distance from the antenna
