Abstract:
The University of Corsica decided to create in 2010 the platform STELLA MARE (Sustainable TEchnologies for LittoraL Aquaculture and MArine Research) and its platform CNRS-Università di Corsica leads a project called AMB.I.EN.T.E (AMBient Intelligence for Environment using Technical Efficiency) to develop some tools to follow the terrestrial and underwater activities of animal. Global Positioning System (GPS) is considered as an essential key in the monitoring of animal activity. Indeed, the knowledge of the movement, the reproduction and spawning areas are important for the researchers. We were able to study some research on GPS tracking system however the energy consumption, a quick deployment and real-time data visualization are not clearly expressed in a same project. In this paper, we introduce a prototype of GPS tracker system using LoRa (for Long Rang) technology according to these three previous needs.
