Tech What is a Falconry Telemetry System and What is it used for? Uneeb KhanAugust 10, 20220151 views A Falconry telemetry system is composed of transmitter, which broadcasts the signal and is worn by a hawk/falcon/raptor, andreceiver, which receives the signal and is held by the falconer. In the U.S., the radio frequency for a falconry telemetry system is most often 216 megahertz, but it may vary depending on where the falconer is located. In falconry, telemetry means the small radio transmitter carried by the bird of prey, which would enable its owner to monitor the bird while it is out of view. Telemetry can be used to determine what direction a bird is going, whether it is moving, how far the bird is from home, and how high up in the sky the bird is. Track your Raptors Movement Falconry Telemetry Systems can help more easily detect a bird that is hunting, flying out of bounds, being pursued, or has otherwise flown off. Telemetry helps the falconer to find the bird, or even locate the bird which has been carried off by the wind, or has been driven away by other raptors. Falconry Telemetry System is basically just a way of tracking a raptor electronically. Fortunately, advances in technology have helped develop a system that is both more reliable and easier to use — radio telemetry for today’s falconer. Hallux GPS Telemetry System is uniquely situated in a near-constant connection to falconers around the world. Telemetry is like the bell to the high-tech world, one of the few modern improvements to traditional falconry. Many of today’s telemetry systems leverage the low cost and ubiquitous nature of GSM networks, using text messaging to obtain and relay telemetry data. GPS/Satellite Telemetry GPS/Satellite Telemetry combines technology from both a GPS receiver and satellite transmitter into one unit for collecting data from animals at limited ranges. As we know that this technology allows a user to collect detailed data about animal movements over a limited range, and to transmit that data anywhere. Utilization allows GSM/GPS transmitters to transmit GPS data to cellular towers, then on to microwave radio-telemetry servers to be distributed to customers as attachments in email. Most of current satellite telemetry uses the two polar-orbiting Argos satellites for receiving the very high-frequency signals from the platforms transmitter terminals (PTTs). Later Soviet interplanetary probes used duplicate radio systems, delivering telemetry via PCM in a decimeter band and PPM in a centimeter band. Conclusion At Hallux GPS Falconry Telemetry Systems, we stock all the radio telemetry gear needed for all the leading systems in falconry. How and where to mount your radio transmitter on your hunting bird are two critical decisions every falconer needs to carefully consider.
