Power

Sun in. Positions out.

A ring of solar cells under the clear top charges a sealed battery. Nothing to plug in, nothing to swap, nothing to bring in at night.⁵

The Hodalo tag seen from directly above in its light-grey cradle: an orange rim, a clear top over a dark ring of solar cells crossed by four thin orange spokes, and a square orange centre with an engraved h. — Solar ring

The dark ring is the power supply.

about27days of reports from a lost boat, upright and with no sun, even if it goes missing at the end of a long day out of mobile range. A lost boat reports less often to save battery. An estimate.⁶

Estimates⁵

A cloudy week.

With poor sun and no mobile signal, the tag is estimated to keep reporting by satellite for the whole week.

When sun is poor, the tag slows its satellite reports to hold its battery.

Where we are

This is a plan, not a promise.

Now Design on paper. No tag has been tested yet.
Next Satellite link test from a real tag.
Then Pilot season with a small number of sites, 10 tags per site.
2028 First paid deployments (target).
