Designing and Implementation Wildlife Tracking System Using APRS Protocol

Abstract

This research meant for the design tracking unit that will use for Wildlife or Protected animal who live in national Park and the tracking method is used this APRS as the method for data packet will travel over RF which will be used as the communication protocol to track Wildlife Animal location inside the National Park where the wireless infrastructure network unavailable. Each node using GPS combined with Tiny microcontroller generated beacon signal included location and heath data encoded to APRS Protocol sent to low power Radio Transmitter module transmitted RF. to Outpost station where located in the middle of forest acted as Digital Repeater passed data to the Internet gateway coverage 2Km radius.
