HerdDogg’s new StarDogg monitors herds via satellite
HerdDogg® launched StarDogg™, a direct-to-satellite IoT bridge for ranchers operating on remote ranchland where there is no cellular connection.
Provides a direct-to-satellite connection to the HerdDogg Animal Traceability Platform® so that ranchers can keep a close eye on the location and wellbeing of their animals, no matter where they are, 24x7.
Developed in collaboration with Swarm Technologies, StarDogg integrates Swarm’s satellite modem into HerdDogg’s DoggBone tag reader.
Whenever an animal with a HerdDogg DoggTag® Bluetooth sensor is within range of a StarDogg transceiver it offloads tracking and behavior insights about the animal which is then transmitted via satellite to HerdDogg’s cloud-based livestock data platform.
StarDogg provides ranchers with cost-effective, 24x7 animal tracking and welfare monitoring across remote rangeland
“StarDogg is perfect for ranchers with significant acreage and those who graze cattle on land leased from the Bureau of Land Management, where there is generally no terrestrial cellular coverage. Swarm’s technology provides a cost-effective alternative to tracking animals with a GPS collar or tag.”
“We are delighted to help HerdDogg expand the scope of its livestock monitoring capabilities, without being constrained by the availability of cellular coverage. For ranchers grazing their herds on vast landscapes, the combination of HerdDogg and Swarm Technologies enables more accurate remote management and improved oversight of herd and herd resources.”
