Business Wire
Globalstar, Inc. (NYSE American: GSAT) (“Globalstar” or the
“Company”) today announced that it has signed a commercial
agreement with Ceres Tag, to supply satellite services to the
livestock industry through the world’s first and only smart ear tag
for traceability provenance, biosecurity, health, animal welfare,
production improvement and theft reduction.
This agreement follows Ceres Tag’s recent success in winning the
SVG Ventures THRIVE Challenge and their ear tag being named as the
#1 Big Breakthrough Technology for Ag Change in the Next Decade by
the AgJournal of Weekend Australian.
The Ceres Tag platform uses the unique capabilities of
Globalstar to produce a small and light weight (just over one
ounce) smart ear tag that attaches to the animal and automatically
sends the data to the cloud via the Globalstar Satellite
Network.
The Ceres Tag requires no infrastructure, no maintenance and has
a battery capable of lasting the lifetime of an animal making it
the lowest cost, scalable, plug and play option for ranchers to
produce better performing animals at a greater profit.
David Smith, CEO of Ceres Tag, commented, “With over 1 billion
cattle in the world and a similar number of sheep and goats, we now
have a low-cost limitless way to monitor our animals. There has
never been a more important time to know where your food has come
from than during this pandemic.”
The unique relationship with Globalstar enables Ceres Tag to
supply an automated daily recording of animals including world
exclusive capabilities on pasture feed intake, which is primary to
determining feed efficiency, genetic selection and managing of
greenhouse gas. Traceability, biosecurity, performance, health and
welfare have never been under more scrutiny than they are now.
David Kagan, CEO of Globalstar Inc., commented, “We saw an
immediate match between Globalstar and Ceres Tag to deliver this
unique monitoring capability to over 80% of the world’s livestock
that are located in remote locations where there is no
infrastructure and where you may only see the animals once or twice
a year.”
Smith also commented, “Ceres Tag is quickly becoming one of the
world’s most comprehensive animal monitoring companies with a
wildlife and pet platform, also well developed in the pipeline and
due for launch in 2022.”
Kagan added, “With this partnership, Globalstar will be one of
the world’s largest providers of LEO satellite enabled IoT
solutions. This partnership builds on a strategy of unlocking the
full scalability of devices across several sectors. Animal
monitoring is one of these areas in which we see significant growth
opportunity.”
Ceres Tag will launch May 1, 2021 at the Beef Australia
Exhibition in Rockhampton Queensland Australia and will be
available for purchase from their online ecommerce website for
delivery worldwide. Initial market focus will be Australia/New
Zealand and North America.
