GPS collar with LTE-M communication and solar charging. Real-time monitoring of monkeys, deer, bears, and more. Widely adopted by municipalities and research institutions for wildlife management.
A GPS collar is a wildlife tracking device worn around an animal's neck, combining a GPS / GNSS receiver with communication hardware. It continuously records position data via satellite positioning and transmits or stores the data to reveal home ranges, movement paths, and activity patterns objectively.
Unlike visual observation or VHF radio telemetry, GPS collars enable long-term continuous behavioral data collection, supporting wildlife management, damage prevention, and conservation research.
Conventional VHF collars only transmit a radio signal; locating the animal requires a field operator to triangulate it on-site. A GPS collar records latitude and longitude directly via satellite positioning. Models with built-in cellular connectivity — such as the LoggLaw G Series using LTE-M — automatically upload data to the cloud for near-real-time remote monitoring.
Energy-efficient LTE-M communication enables real-time position data transmission over a wide coverage area.
Built-in solar panel for worry-free long-term operation without battery replacement. Maintenance-free.
High-efficiency power management combined with solar charging enables years of continuous operation.
Robust design that withstands harsh environments and vigorous movements of wild animals. IP67 waterproof rated.
Check animal locations anytime, anywhere via the dedicated app or web dashboard.
Automatic detection of area entry/exit. Useful for wildlife damage prevention and conservation efforts.
The LoggLaw G Series is a GPS collar designed for medium-to-large terrestrial mammals. Representative applications are shown below.
Used for tracking Japanese macaque troop home ranges, studying seasonal migration, and evaluating the effectiveness of deterrence measures. Long-term winter monitoring of macaque behavior using LoggLaw G2C has been conducted.
Used for mapping sika deer home ranges, identifying wintering grounds, and analyzing incursion patterns into farmland and forests. In March 2026, LoggLaw G2C was deployed in a study that documented the first confirmed overwintering of sika deer in Kamikochi, reported in the Shinano Mainichi Shimbun.
Used for tracking Asian black bears and detecting approach to villages and human activity zones. Combined with geofencing, the system automatically issues alerts when an animal enters a designated area, enabling early warning and response.

The right GPS collar depends on the research objective, target species, and operational timeframe. This section compares GPS and VHF collars and outlines key factors to consider when selecting a product.
| Comparison | VHF Collar | GPS Collar (LoggLaw G) |
|---|---|---|
| Position acquisition | Estimated via radio triangulation | Direct latitude/longitude via satellite positioning |
| Real-time availability | Only during on-site tracking | Near real-time via LTE-M |
| Field work | Operator must carry a receiver and triangulate | Remote data retrieval after deployment |
| Data volume | Sparse point observations | Continuous movement tracks |
| Long-term operation | Requires battery replacement | Solar charging enables multi-year operation |
Choose a collar with appropriate size and weight for the target animal's body. For animal welfare reasons, the ratio of collar weight to body weight should be considered carefully.
The LTE-M network used by the LoggLaw G Series covers roughly the same area as standard mobile phone service. In deep mountain areas outside coverage, stored data can be batch-transmitted when the animal re-enters the network.
The choice of power source depends on whether the study spans months or years. Solar-charged models are effective for long-term operation.
Data collected with the LoggLaw G Series integrates with Animal Portal, a cloud platform for wildlife damage management and municipal operations. It provides map-based home range visualization, geofencing, proximity alerts, and simultaneous tracking of multiple individuals — covering the essentials for field operations.
