Review our information on choosing an avian transmitter or choosing a fish tag for tips on selecting an appropriate device for your project. If you would like assistance, we are always happy to help. | |
Contact us to discuss your project and our production schedule. | |
Our production schedule fills up quickly; please anticipate a 10-week minimum lead time (12 weeks for Solar 5g PTT, Solar 2g PTT, and pop-up satellite archival tags [PSATs]). Advance notice helps us to better accommodate your timeline. To reserve a space on our production schedule, you must submit a Production Form and official order commitment (Purchase Order, signed MTI Sales Agreement, official letter of intent) or prepayment before we can begin production (details in Step 4). | |
Set up an Argos account and request your Argos ID numbers. | |
If you plan to use Argos satellite transmitters (Solar PTTs, Solar Argos/GPS PTTs, Battery Powered PTTs, Implantable PTTs, or Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags), you will need an Argos account, and an Argos-assigned identification number for each transmitter. You will need this information to complete your Production Form. To set up your Argos account and request ID numbers, visit the Argos website. | |
Submit a Production Form and order commitment. | |
Production Forms detail the specifics of each transmitter order and must be submitted at least 10 weeks prior to your requested delivery date. Access our online Production Portal. | |
For GPS/GSM 20-70 Transmitters, complete and return a Data Distribution Agreement. | |
We must have a signed and completed Data Distribution Agreement (DDA) before we can ship your transmitters. Login to your MTI account to access the DDA. |
