An Overview of the Argos System

The Argos system is the satellite telemetry system of choice for biologists worldwide. In fact, species monitoring and Argos technology have grown together, and biology applications are the fastest growing of all programs in the Argos system. Enhancements to the system have provided a number of advantages to biologists such as increased sensitivity, improved location calculation, new low-power modulation, and broadening of the bandwidth.

CLS America is engaged with managing the sales and customer support activities for all North American Argos users. This presentation will provide a technical overview of how the Argos system works, a walkthrough demonstrating how users access data and demonstrate new technologies that have been, or will be, developed.
