Microwave Telemetry

Founded by Paul W. Howey in 1991, Microwave Telemetry, Inc. is a global leader in satellite tracking technology. Located near Washington, D.C. in Columbia, Maryland, the primary goal of the company's company is to provide state-of-the-art avian and marine tracking technology for scientists. Founded by biologists, the company's innovative products a... re designed with biologists and their goals in mind. The company's mission is to advance the integrative fields of electronics and ecology, with conservation as the driving motivator behind each new design. The company introduced the first avian satellite transmitter available weighing less than 100 grams in 1991. Since then the company has used the most advanced technologies to reduce the weight to a mere 5 grams, the lightest available Argos transmitter on the market. Additionally, in 1997 the company introduced the first archival pop-up satellite tag for the marine environment. While the concept of retrieving archived data via satellite was not novel the advances in miniaturization allowed the company to make the pop-up tag a reality. Since the original single-point pop-up tag, the company has expanded the capabilities and reduced the size. The company is continually working to reduce the size and increase the capabilities of the company's avian and marine satellite transmitters. The company's hardworking team is committed to your ongoing success. Feel free to contact the company with any questions regarding your projects.Read More
