Biotags Remote Telemetry Systems for Science and Industry

Biotags Remote Telemetry Systems

The data is out in the field, and you need to bring it in to your PC, workstation or webserver in real time. If so, you've found the right site. Wherever data changes in the field - underwater, in air or underground - even over a wide temperature range, Biotags can provide complete wireless measurement solutions for field and lab. Biotags manufactures a variety of Radio Frequency (RF) data transmitters with onboard sensors, called Telemetry Tags, and their companion Field Data Loggers. Working together, these components capture sensor data on temperature, conductance, motion, voltage levels and field position, and networks the data to your lab or office computer system for analysis and verification.

		Biotags Telemetry Tags are tiny, environmentally safe, low voltage RF data transmitters that monitor external conditions and respond to their local environment by transmitting digital data in a pulsed, error correcting format. Meeting a wide range of user requirements for battery lifetime and environmental stability, Biotags Telemetry Tags transmit low power radio signals over a distance of one mile while providing a minimum mass under 3 grams. Low mass tags offer rechargeable batteries while long lifetimes of years require just a single AA battery.


		Biotags Field Data Loggers provide a cost effective, low power solution for monitoring Telemetry Tag Data, adding features for position tracking and automated data logging. Biotags offers small and light data logger versions for handheld monitoring as well as sealed systems capable of long term unattended operation. The low power requirements of Biotags Field Data Loggers maximize active logging time when running from internal or external batteries. When applied with Biotags high gain Yagi antenna systems, these field data loggers track both telemetry data and tag position.

Complete Remote Telemetry Systems with BiotagsRTS

To capture the digitally encoded data from RF tags in the field, Biotags users first apply the ICOM radio receiver included with every BiotagsRTS package. With the ICOM receiver, you listen to each tag's data chirps, a first step that pulls in the tags micropower radio signal through the antenna and converts it to audio. Next, select from a range of Biotags integrated electronics and software packages to decode the digital data and log this data into categories specifying each individual tag's custom ID, telemetry data and field location. Depending on the features of your BiotagsRTS application, the Biotags Field Data Loggers will analyze the information transmitted by the tag, and display the tag's ID and sensor information on a handheld PDA (Palm Tungsten T2 series). Finally, you transfer the data from the PDA to you PC, workstation or webserver and run analysis of the field data. For automated data collection, Biotags can provide networking solutions that concentrate field data from a number of remote locations, and transfers the data directly to your desktop.
