INTELINK Model System Structure

All Druid models feature INTELINK transmission. As a result, this system structure applies to all models, including cellular mdoels and satellite models.

However, it's essential to note that models exclusively relying on INTELINK transmission are optimized for INTELINK range since it is their sole transmission method. Models with alternative transmission methods are not specifically optimized for INTELINK range, as they have their own transmission methods. Learn more about INTELINK range here.

Data Flow Patterns

1 ~ 2 ~ 3

• Device settings can be changed on Ecotopia Web/app at any time, with the change immediately (3) synchronized to the server but not yet applied by the device.
• When you (1) turn on the device and deliver the setting to the device via Ecotopia App, the App will (2) promptly retrieve the device's setting change from the server via the phone's internet access and (1) deliver it to the device, where the setting change is then applied. In the field without internet access, ensure to cache the setting change in the Ecotopia App before fieldwork.
• After the device applies the setting, it operates according to the new setting.
• For models transmitting solely via INTELINK, data cannot be directly transmitted to the server. Instead, a gateway is needed. Your phone can serve as a gateway. You can (1) synchronize data via Ecotopia App on your phone and (2) upload the data to the server using the phone's internet connection.
• In instances where the device is outside the INTELINK range of any gateway, the data is stored in the device's memory. The device memory has the capacity to store at least 460 days of data under standard settings.
• Then you can access the data via Ecotopia Web/app anytime, anywhere.

5 ~ 4 ~ 2 ~ 3

• During fieldwork, when proximity to animals is limited, an INTELINK signal amplifier like QUEST, HUB, or TAG III G acts as a relay device. It (4) (5) extends the INTELINK range between your phone and the device, simplifying fieldwork. Learn more here.

7 ~ 6 ~ 3

• Device settings can be modified on Ecotopia Web/app at any time, with the change immediately (3) synchronized to the server but not yet applied by the device.
• The gateway, such as HUB or TAG III G, (6) acquires the setting change during its next transmission session via the cellular network. The setting change is applied by the device when it (7) enters the INTELINK range of the gateway. Learn more here.
• After applying the setting, the device operates accordingly. The data (7) is downloaded immediately from the device to the gateway when the device enters the INTELINK range of the gateway. The downloaded data is then (6) uploaded to the server during the gateway's subsequent transmission session.
• Then you can access the data via Ecotopia Web/app anytime, anywhere.

7~ 8 ~ 2 ~ 3

• In scenarios where the gateway lacks internet access in the field, preventing it from acquiring setting changes or uploading collected data to the server, you can cache your Ecotopia App. When at the gateway in the field, you can (8) deliver setting information from the App cache to the gateway and synchronize data from the gateway to your phone. The data can then be (2) uploaded to the server later using the phone's internet connection.
