Pet & Livestock Tracking Solution

1. Overview

Pets and livestock are valuable companions and assets that require continuous care and monitoring. Whether in urban homes, farms, ranches, or open pastures, IoT-powered tracking solutions help owners ensure the safety, health, and real-time visibility of animals.

The Pet & Livestock Tracking Solution uses GPS, 4G Cat.1/NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, BLE, and UWB technologies to provide accurate positioning, behavior monitoring, geofencing, and emergency alerts. Supported by compact wearable trackers from the P Series Pet Trackers, L Series Livestock Collars, A Series Smart Tags, the system is designed for long-term outdoor use, harsh environments, and low-power operation.

2. Core Objectives

• Track real-time and historical locations of pets and animals

• Prevent pets from being lost and livestock from straying

• Monitor activity, behavior, and health indicators

• Improve farm management efficiency

• Enable rapid rescue and loss prevention

3. Solution Architecture
