The animal tracking collar will have both GSM and GPS capability. The animal movement coordinates will be tracked using the on-board GPS and stored in a memory chip.
To minimize battery consumption of the GSM module, low-cost mini GSM receptors will be installed at various points in a given national park and those towers will have the capability to communicate with the Cell phone towers within range. So the GSM module on-board the animal will just have to transmit the data to the nearest receptor from where it is picked up and re-transmitted to the main cell phone tower .
Other features:
Remote unlocking of the radio collars for retrieval and repair or to replace dead battery banks.
