The latest technology at the service of wildlife tracking now available in India.
New features of the ElephanTTrackinG collars : Real-time tracking and 2-ways communication.
— The collars are sturdy and harmless, principally made of natural rubber. They have been designed based on over 3 years of tests in real conditions in the field.
— The collars include an electronic module or ‘tracker’ and a counterweight.
— The tracker is protected against strong shocks and water by a double shell and a double waterproofing seal.
— The tracker acquires the GPS satellite position and forwards it within seconds to the server using the local GSM network (2G, 3G, 4G). The tracker allows 2-ways communication so you can change the configuration remotely at any time.
— In case of failed transmission, the data is stored in the tracker and sent at the next connection. So positions are not lost even if there is no network.
— The counterweight is made of chromium coated steel. It has been specially designed so that it can lock the collar without any holes to any size within minutes. You don’t need to measure the neck-girth of the elephant (usually about 2m for an adult female and 3m for a male). Our collars are delivered with a length of 4m so as to fit any elephant and the excess is cut once fitted.
— The tracker is powered by an imported 10-years life Lithium battery pack.
— The battery level loses about 3% per year when the tracker is on stand-by mode and 10-20% per year with 4-6 positions per day. The actual life of the tracker depends on the number of transmissions per day, the level of the GSM signal, the temperature and physical damages to the tracker.
— The battery level is monitored remotely every day and visible on the website and the mobile application, so you can adjust your configuration and save the life of the battery according to the specifications of your monitoring program and during the storage periods.
— Free technical support is available online by email.
— Technical assistance in the field is available upon request.

Pricing policy :
Our prime motive is the conservation of wildlife and in our view, it is not a business nor an industry. With this non-profit philosophy, we have attempted to price the ElephanTTrackinG equipment and services at the lowest possible so that it can be used widely in India and South Asia by all of you who share the same concerns that guide us. However, since our products and services are sourced from various industries that do not all share our principles and motives, the more people will join us and use the system, the better we can control prices.

Prepare your ElephanTTrackinG program :
— The first step is to study with the help of a regular mobile phone the availability of GSM networks in the area where you plan to deploy the collars. This is crucial to decide which technology you need to use and which operator to select.
— The price of one elephant GPS collar is posted on our website and updated from time to time. Applicable sales taxes are to be added (18% GST in India). Contact us for a formal quotation.
— Payment is to be made in full at the time of order, by transfer or cheque.
— For each collar, you need to pay a service charge (see current prices) per year for your 24h/24 access to the server, the processing of your data, the download of the Android or iPhone application, the update of the website and applications, the storage and protection of your data in highly secured data centers.
— For each collar, you also need a post-paid SIM card (Nano SIM / 4FF. 12,3 x 8,8mm) to be chosen among the mobile operators with the best network in the area where you want to use the collar. This SIM card should allow Mobile data and roaming.
Multi-operator SIM cards :
ElephanTTrackinG collars can be provided with multi-operator or international SIM cards that work with most GSM operators around the world. Using such SIM cards offers several advantages :
— You don't need to go through the time-consuming process of obtaining a local SIM card.
— Multi-operator SIM cards work anywhere in India (and other countries), so you don't need a specific SIM card according to the area where you want to use the elephant collars.
— Your collars will benefit from the combined networks of several GSM operators. Therefore, the collars will transmit from a much larger area than that of one single network, which is crucial in forest areas.
Conditions of sales :
Prices are subject to change. For exact costs, please ask for a quotation. All our collars are checked with your SIM cards before delivery. We are confident about their sturdiness and reliability. Even later, it is easy to check on the website if they are working properly, but the conditions of use of elephant tracking collars are so unpredictable (extreme physical shocks, temperature, water conditions, inadequate storage, etc.) that we do not guarantee the equipment against any damage once delivered.
However, we can service and repair your collars in Bangalore, so that only the damaged parts and replacement charges are billed (plus shipping). You will be sent a quotation to be approved beforehand.
