Theory of Operation
Your PowerTag is a digital radio transmitter that features a
unique identifier. No two tags will ever have the same
identifier, allowing multiple projects and species to be tracked
simultaneously, worldwide, without overlap in transmitter
codes.
Your PowerTag can also be received by a growing distributed
network of autonomous sensors collecting data from all
wildlife transmitters, around the world! Your PowerTag is
designed to be received by a variety of methods:
CTT Internet of Wildlife devices:
●CTT SensorStation base station products
●CTT Locator portable receiver products
● The forthcoming (Q4 2021) Terra, a
direct-to-consumer citizen science product.
And a global collaborative scientific platform:
● The Motus Wildlife Tracking System (hereafter Motus
Network), operated by Birds Canada
● Any other CTT SensorStation in operation
When your PowerTag signal is received on a CTT Internet of
Wildlife™ device, or via the Motus Network, the exact date,
time, unique identifier, and signal strength will be recorded. To

Attachment
Because the attachment process is unique depending on
animal species, it is advised to contact one of our Wildlife
Application Specialists at Cellular Tracking Technologies at
[email protected].
While attachment may vary, here are some key points to
remember:
1. Never trim the antenna, as its length is both
dependent on top performance as well as FCC
certification of the device.
2. When possible, keep the body of the animal away
from the antenna, as this will affect the range and
efficiency of the antenna.
3. Range will vary depending on the height of the
animal. For example, a bird in flight will have much
further line-of-sight than an animal crawling on the
ground.
4. Water dwelling animals will need to have the antenna
above the surface of the water in order to operate
most effectively.
