VHF radio-tracking is useful for tracking wildlife but the equipment hasn’t changed much in decades, and the old technology has its limitations.
Our innovative new Multi-Track technology will boost your fieldwork efficiency.
It works with a drone, or your yagi antenna and choice of tracking method.
What is Multi-Track?
Ground-breaking Multi-frequency receiver technology:
- Track all your animals simultaneously
- Dynamic tracking lets you search while moving
- Automatic data-logging and position mapping
- Ideal for aerial and ground tracking
How does Multi-Track work?
Standard Receiver
Multi-Track Receiver
- Save time and money by increasing the efficiency of your radio-tracking.
- Faster, easier and safer tracking – ideal for rugged, remote, and dangerous areas.
- Ideal for detecting cryptic animals under cover where other methods are unsuitable.
- Minimise human disturbance to animals and habitat.
- Map and analyse location data, and monitor changes in time and space.
Benefits of Multi-Track
What can Multi-Track do for you?
Multi-Track revolutionises ground and aerial wildlife tracking!
- Quicker, safer, and more efficient than other receiver technology
- Improve signal detection and tracking range – search on the move!
- Results available in the field for immediate action
- Seamless export to your GIS for detailed analysis
- Works with VHF transmitters from all manufacturers
- Use with your standard VHF antenna, or attach to a drone in seconds, without tools
Aerial searches
Elevate your fieldwork with simultaneous multi-frequency tracking, continuous monitoring, and automatic location mapping
Multi-Track aerial systems
Drone Ranger
Aircraft Ranger
Heli Ranger
Replace walking with flying, and make your searches faster, larger, and more efficient!
Multi-Track launches your wildlife tracking into the troposphere!
| Aerial Tracking Benefits | Standard (single-frequency) receiver | Multi-Track receiver |
|---|---|---|
| Autonomous searches | ❌ On-the-fly manual flying required. | ✅ Fly pre-planned and fully-automated missions for safety and repeatability. |
| Efficient searching | ❌ Drone must hover and rotate while searching. | ✅ Search continuously while at cruising speed. |
| Efficient position finding | ❌ Requires triangulation + 3 separate bearings to calculate position. | ✅ No triangulation needed, one detection is enough. |
| Long-range searches | ❌ Drone must remain within range of telemetry link. (No BVLOS) | ✅ Drone operates autonomously, no max range. (BVLOS capable) |
Ground searches
Take your fieldwork to the next level with simultaneous multi-frequency tracking, continuous monitoring, and automatic location mapping.

Increase your search range, improve search efficiency, monitor presence / absence in an area…
Multi-Track drives your wildlife tracking into the future!
| General Tracking Benefits | Standard (single-frequency) receiver | Multi-Track receiver |
|---|---|---|
| Simultaneous monitoring | ❌ Monitor only 1 frequency at a time. | ✅ Monitor 500 frequencies simultaneously. |
| Reliable monitoring | ❌ 2% of time monitoring each frequency (n=50 freqs), high probability of missed detections. | ✅ 100% of time monitoring every frequency. |
| Data-logging | ❌ No position data. No lightweight / portable data-logging capability. | ✅ Position data logged automatically for easy mapping and analysis. |
| Secure data | ❌ Frequency info retained on receiver. | ✅ Frequency and location info encrypted. |
We work with clients all around the world to track a wide variety of animals.
