Published purpose
Sigma Eight Inc. is developing a sub gram transmitter for use in wildlife tracking. Current transmitters available on the market today have static programming, and do not have much flexibility in terms of emission interval, protocol, and duty cycle. By utilizing modern microelectronic components, we aim to reduce the package size while maintaining the programmable flexibility of our larger transmitters. This innovation allows for the tracking of juvenile animals and support novel research on climate change, applying the advancements we achieved with larger tags to a more compact transmitter.
