Works with no cell signal
For farms, bush and reserves where phone coverage runs out. This is your true long-range option.
📡 About range: the first three use the mobile network, so their range is effectively unlimited — anywhere MTN, Telecel or AirtelTigo reaches, you see your dog. Where there is no coverage at all (deep bush, remote farm), the Digitanimal satellite or LoRaWAN option keeps reporting.
02
Set it up — one collar, one dog (watch the demo)
Follow the pointer. This walks through connecting a collar for a dog named Bella. Press play, or step through at your own pace.
Verdini · guided setupDog: Bella · Collar: GT06N
Put a SIM in the collar
A prepaid data SIM (MTN / Telecel / AirtelTigo) with a small data bundle.
Insert your 4G SIM (or connect your gateway)
4G collars: insert an active data SIM. LoRaWAN collars: bring your gateway online on The Things Network.
Fit it on Bella
Two fingers under the strap, tracker under the throat so it sees the sky.
On Verdini: open the Wildlife tracker
Go to verdini.world/verdini-wildlife and tap “+ Connect Sensor”.
Note: these steps mirror the real Connect Sensor wizard on Verdini. Cellular (4G) collars report over the mobile network; LoRaWAN collars report through The Things Network. Enter the Device EUI or IMEI from the collar, assign it to your animal, and activate.
