Product Description
The Mataki system is designed to track birds and other animals using GPS. A 'tag' device with a unique ID number is attached to each animal and the tracking information collected by the tags is sent to a base station over a radio link. The base station data can then be uploaded to a PC and logs for each tag separated out. The radio link means there is no need to re-capture the animals to recover the data.
Mataki-Lite tags are fully scriptable using a version of the BASIC language to support techniques such as geo-fencing.

Mataki-Lite tags are the lightest member of the Mataki family weighing in at around 3.5g excluding a battery. It can upload its log data to a Mataki-Classic or Pi-Base base station.
The tracking and logging behaviour of Mataki-Lite tags is entirely controlled by a user-supplied script giving total control over the logging process and allowing species-specific behaviour.
