ATTENTION: You asked, we listened. For those of you who want the V2 node, we are doing another limited run that will be shipping in June 2024. If you are only planning to use 434MHz tags, or need to get your project started before summer 2024, you can order V2 nodes now. 

For those planning to use 2.4GHz transmitters, or want their node grid to be dual-mode, the New CTT Node (3.0) will begin shipping in July/August  2024 and will include support for both 434MHz and the new 2.4GHz frequencies! More details to follow. The V3 node can be purchased now on this website, and orders will be filled in the order received.

For V2 Node Owners, never fear, CTT will still support and repair V2 Nodes.

Please select if the order is tax exempt or non-tax exempt. If you are ordering for an item without sales tax, you must send a tax exempt certificate to: sales@celltracktech.com before your order is shipped.

Version 1.0 of the CTT Node revolutionized the way we study wildlife movement using radio.

Version 2.0 brings added positional accuracy to every node, onboard storage, and the ability to receive software updates, further future-proofing your wildlife tracking setup.

Whats New In Version 2

• Built in GPS for node positioning and timing
• SD card for storing long term tag data on node
• Waterproof USB charger port for charging the node and updating firmware
• Built in real time clock
• Improved solar charging
• 3 buttons with indicators
• On board flash storage

Description

The CTT Node is an innovation that allows you to automatically localize LifeTag and PowerTags with a high degree of accuracy. For example, nodes can be placed at multiple nesting sites to detect presence or absence.

If deployed in a grid fashion, the nodes can operate as “reverse GPS”, providing near GPS accuracy (~ +/- 30m)

The node uploads received tag detection data to base stations, including the SensorStation, creating a dense, high resolution tracking network. A large, high efficiency solar panel is coupled with an MPPT charge controller, allowing the node to keep its batteries topped off in many different lighting conditions. A high capacity battery also allows the node to be operated for a week without any sunlight.

In addition to reporting detected nearby tags with a precise timestamp, nodes also provide health information (requires a SensorStation for health reporting). This includes battery voltage and temperature.

Each CTT Node is able to relay data to a CTT Base Station as far away as several kilometers. Each solution can be engineered to your needs, or you are welcome to create your own.
