NexTrak R1 Receiver with Improved Range and Detection Capability Now Available for Pre-Order

BOSTON – Innovasea, a global leader in technologically advanced aquatic solutions for aquaculture and fish tracking, announced today that its new NexTrak R1 acoustic telemetry receiver is now available for pre-order.

The R1 has shined in early field testing, giving aquatic animal researchers 40 percent greater range and double the detections compared to the previous technology.

“NexTrak was designed to provide researchers with deeper data sets so they could tackle new types of questions about animal behavior,” said Mark Jollymore, president of Innovasea. “We’ve been really pleased with how well the R1 receiver has performed in early deployments.”

The R1 is the first product in Innovasea’s new NexTrak line, a breakthrough acoustic telemetry system that is ushering in a new era of science, collaboration and discovery for aquatic animal researchers.

NexTrak delivers advanced technologies, improved performance and more data, enabling scientists to explore new habitats and devise creative new approaches to their work.

The new system also provides:

• Less interference and fewer tag collisions
• Signal strength data to better show the proximity of fish to deployed receivers
• Higher quality data and enhanced post-processing capabilities

NexTrak makes aquatic animal tracking easier by making deployments, maintenance and data retrieval more efficient. In addition, the range improvement and better coverage mean less equipment to purchase up front, lowering the total cost of ownership and making acoustic telemetry more accessible.

The NexTrak R1 is the first product in a larger NexTrak ecosystem that includes new receivers, transmitters and enhanced cloud-based tools that will provide researchers with a richer, more complete picture of animal behavior.
