Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article presents a study of GPS trackers for tracking horses. Trackers were tested as part of a project funded by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan in five regions. The main characteristics, such as the measurement error of GPS coordinates and battery life, were calculated, found experimentally and evaluated. For the first time, trackers operating on a different principle of transmitting GPS data over channels were considered: GSM; Lora; VHF; satellite communications. Of all the trackers, Smart One C with satellite communication showed the best results in terms of autonomy of about 6 months of battery life.
