The latest 'furry friend finder' tech - from product design consultancy FLYNN

Consultancy FLYNN product design have smashed it out of the park yet again. Having developed the latest product iteration for GPS cat tracking company Pawtrack, one of the GPS tracking market leaders.

The collaboration on animal tracking collars spans 8 years now and fascinatingly and perhaps predictably the sector has changed a lot over this time. Offerings like the latest release from Pawtrack have helped consumers feel comfortable applying what is quite sensationally high tech devices around the neck of their much loved pets.

“The animal tracking market is booming and FLYNN have helped us yet again develop a brilliant little collar, we launched this new collar this year.” Jeremy P. Director Pawtrack

The challenges to creating a great tracking collar are multiple.

• The device needs to be light weight only weighing in the range of 30grams all told.
• Must be safe for the pet so we incorporate a weight rated quick release.
• Compact so the cat can feed and move freely.
• Long lasting power supplied by quickly swappable standard C sized batteries.
• Super accurate tracking. ( not easy when cats love to sleep under cars )

Unique flexible GPS – 4G antenna

Tracking is a very complex thing in fact and accuracy with such a small unit is always challenging. The latest device is unique in that it incorporates an embedded flexible antenna which weight next to nothing and is fully flexible. The big gain is this antenna looks at sky which boosts the accuracy over the competition.
