Efficient livestock tracking is becoming increasingly important for modern farmers managing large herds. HKT LORA is helping address this need with the GAT-100, a LoRaWAN-based GPS tracker designed to provide reliable, real-time visibility of cattle and other livestock.
The GAT-100 enables farmers to monitor animal locations and movements remotely, helping reduce the time spent searching for wandering or lost livestock while supporting more efficient herd management.
Designed for long-term field use, the tracker features a 38,000 mAh lithium-ion battery capable of operating continuously for more than one year and up to three years, reducing maintenance and battery replacement requirements. Its compact design and straightforward installation make it suitable for cattle, sheep, and other livestock.
A key advantage of the GAT-100 is its LoRaWAN™ connectivity, providing long-range communication in areas where cellular coverage may be limited or unavailable. The technology can also help farmers track large numbers of animals without the recurring cellular subscription costs associated with conventional GPS trackers.
The device can be configured remotely through the network server, allowing farmers to adjust settings without physically accessing each tracker. This can simplify deployment and ongoing management across large herds.
By providing greater visibility into livestock movements, HKT LORA’s technology can support more informed decisions around livestock theft, grazing, herd management, breeding, and animal welfare.
As agriculture increasingly adopts connected technologies, HKT LORA is focused on developing practical tracking solutions that help farmers improve livestock visibility, operational efficiency, and resource management.
