5.2 g M1 model
6g version
version with internal antennas
P1 and standard versions with reinforced antennas
MINI is a solar-powered GPS-GSM-ACC ultimate-light tracker with long-distance transmission suitable for backpack deployment for birds weighing 120 grams and more.
Also Argos, LoRa, 4G and 5G (NB-IoT & LTE-M) versions available.
Recently, we have also introduced a version with INTERNAL ANTENNAS. It is the lightest GPS-GSM tracker in the world without external antennas!
MINI 2G with internal antennas 5.3 gram
| MINI SPECIFICATION | |
|---|---|
| Appearance & Measurement | |
| Dimensions: | From 21 mm x 19 mm x 10 mm (for 5 g M1 model); 21 mm x 21mm x 12mm (for stndard model) |
| Weight: | From 5 g M1 model; from 5.8 to 6.7 g - standard model; 5.5g internal antenna model |
| Antenna: | 95 mm | 44 mm (external titanium alloy). Also internal antenna version is available. |
| Housing: | Strong and water proof, with multiple harness threading holes. Various colours are possible. |
| Data Types | |
| GPS: | Longitude, latitude, altitude, geoid height, course, satellite quantity |
| ENV: | Voltage, light intensity, temperature |
| BHV: | ODBA (overall dynamic body acceleration) |
| ACC: | x/y/z acceleration data (upon request) |
| BSS: | longitude, latitude, altitude (alternative locating method for extreme situation) |
| Power Supply | |
| Solar type: | GaAs solar unit (30% efficiency) with good performance under weak light |
| Battery type: | Lithium polymer rechargeable battery with under-and-over-charge protection |
| Battery capacity: | 30mAh |
| Fully charged battery is sufficient for logging over 100 GPS positions without recharge under optimal GPS satellite view. | |
| GPS Module | |
| GPS precision: | CEP (50%) 5m |
| Max update rate: | 10 Hz |
| Transmission Module | |
| GPRS (2G data) | GSM (2G SMS) (global roaming supported) Argos 5G BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) - all versions |
|
| Transmission Rate: | 2G: Max. 85.6 Kbps/85.6 Kbps (uplink/downlink) |
| Data Collection & Transmission Setting: | |
| Regular-Interval Mode: | |
| - GPS interval: 5 min ~1 day | |
| - ENV interval: 5 min ~1 day | |
| - ODBA interval: 10 min/30 min | |
| - ACC interval: 25 Hz, 3 seconds in every 10 min (by default) | |
| - Transmission interval: 5 min ~1 day | |
| Above ranges are selectable on website data platform or App. Contact us if other settings are required. | |
| On-Time Mode | |
| - Transmission: Up to three times at fixed hours per day (such as 13:00/14:00/18:00) | |
| - GPS / ENV / BHV: Regular-interval model or on-time model follow each transmission | |
| Sleep Mode | |
| This mode is to deactivate certain type of data collection for: | |
| - a certain period (from minutes to months) | |
| - a regular period each day (a maximum of 16 hours) | |
| Intelligent Frequency Optimization & Flight Detection (BOOST) | |
| The BOOST function intelligently increases data collection & transmission frequency when the charging condition is good or the bird is flying. The default setting is as below: | |
| Frequency Optimization: | Every 10 min/1 min |
| Flight Detection: | Every 20 sec |
| With BOOST, the device portrays detailed movement tracks without manual intervention and avoids the possibility of battery drain due to radical settings in bad weather. | |
| Data Storage | |
| Logged data will be stored in memory if network is unavailable. | |
| Flash memory: | 16 MB |
| Regular data storage: | 460 days at default setting (1h GPS+1h ENV+10 min BHV) |
| BOOST data storage: | 280,000 pieces |
| ACC data storage: | 28,700 pieces |
| Operational Environment | |
| Working temperature: | -20°C~60°C |
| Waterproof: | IP 68 |
| Firmware Upgrade | |
| Over the air (OTA) |
