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.
