(London, UK, May 15, 2014) – Telit Wireless, a global provider of high-quality M2M (Machine-to-Machine) solutions, products and services, today announced a project aimed at accurately predicting turtle hatching and nesting times –Sea Turtle Sensing Project–The Telit HE910 module will be used to transmit sensor data, ultimately achieving the goal of protecting endangered sea turtles and the vital local tourism industry. Turtle-sensing technology was developed by the group Nerds-Without-Borders, which believes that many of the world’s problems can be solved by bringing together altruistic and insightful people.
Because the coastal region relies heavily on the beach tourism industry, businesses and environmental groups must balance the popularity of coastal cities with the requirements of the Endangered Species Act to protect turtle nesting areas.
Cape Hatteras National Seashore is located near the North Carolina coast. Female turtles born on this beach come back here to nest and lay their eggs. After a few months, the baby turtles will break out of their shells and crawl out of their nests towards the sea. Now, once a turtle nest is spotted on the beach, a fence is built around the nest to prevent pedestrians and vehicles from approaching. After about 50-55 days, the enclosures of the turtle nests are expanded and vehicles are often banned from the beach. There is currently no reliable way to predict when baby turtles will emerge from their dens next to the dunes and crawl to the sea. As a result, enclosures sometimes exist for more than a month.
Eric Kaplan, founder of the non-profit Hatteras Island Ocean Center and chairman of a technology company, has proposed a solution based on M2M communication technology that will help predict the hatching and nesting times of sea turtles, thereby minimizing the closure of large areas The number of days in the beach area. In 2013, the first-generation technology was tested in four turtle nests. About 20 nests using the second-generation technology will be monitored this summer.
The technology is based on Telit’s HE910 module, which is integrated into Janus’ plug-in Terminus modem. It is connected with a cable to a sensor buried in the turtle’s nest, which will measure temperature and movement.The sensor is controlled by a microprocessor that communicates with a second microprocessor in the modem, whichsensorThe data is transmitted to the HE910, and finally the data is transmitted to the cloud of the m2mAIR mobile cellular network.
In order to prolong battery life during nesting, hatching and hatching, data transmission will be slow and intermittent at first, increasing in frequency as signs of activity are detected. National Park Service (NPS) wildlife biologist Britta Muiznieks said: “Using this innovative technology, Cape Hatteras National Seashore hopes to be able to accurately predict when turtles hatch and leave the nest. Previous studies have failed to Reliably and accurately predict these events.”
In addition to the HE910 HSPA+ module, the Turtle Sensing project also transmits data via Telit’s m2mAIR mobile network, taking full advantage of Telit’s one-stop service.
Mike Ueland, president of Telit Americas, said: “Telit has a long history of partnering with organizations like the Hatteras Island Ocean Center. In addition to product and technical assistance, Telit hopes to have a few ways to make people aware of similar Such an innovative and environmentally friendly project.”
