System Configuration

1. Cellular connectivity based – where cellular connectivity to the pole exists.
2. Satellite Connectivity-based – where cellular connectivity to the pole does not exist, then we use satellite connectivity to the pole.

Poles and Towers

The Pole / Tower should be at least 6 meter high, higher is better. For 9 meter high with a line of sight between the pole and the collars the range between the pole and the collar can be between 6-7km, and 10-12km radius when the pole is 12m high. Each pole can handle up to 25K cattle.

Electricity: Can be 220V come from the grid or by solar panel (off grid deployment)
