It's World Turtle Day 2026! 🐢 🌏

What better news for turtle telemetry than Arribada's news too that we have released a standalone Argos / Kinéis transmitter. The 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗦𝗠𝗗 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲.

You can now develop your own Argos tags https://t.co/Uck6JAveHr

@descrailabs Is there a recurring subscription necessary to access the app / software or is it bulked in with the hardware purchase?

@LNER your train to Newcastle from King's Cross is bumpier than a £1 fairground ride

[Alasdair Davies @Al2kA]

@AnasAbdin Amazing

[Alasdair Davies @Al2kA]

@BAR_RTS Impressive. Out of curiosity, is this video captured by a spectator in the live game who removed the HUD, set max graphics and has a beefy machine or is it a playback?

[Alasdair Davies @Al2kA]

@digitfyi @iomart Amazing considering they must be haemorrhaging customers who were once with the excellent Memset. Just look at their service status (over 1 month with no control panel is shocking) https://t.co/ZfKn8hcfZJ

📢NEWS: Lack of data and reporting gaps are hampering global efforts to protect pangolins.

All eight recognised pangolin species remain at high risk of extinction but the absence of updated data mean the full scale of the situation is not yet understood.

📢New milestone unlocked for biologging tag developers📢

The new Kinéis constellation of 25 nanosatellites is now live, and our €50 transmitter is fully compatible! 15 minute global revisits unlocks a whole new world of telemetetry solutions. Take a look https://t.co/tVGE7jNBx1

[Arribada Initiative @arribada_i]

Arribada’s new Argos & Kinéis satellite transmitter, the 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗦𝗠𝗗, is now on general sale🛰️

For only €50, it’s one of the cheapest and most accessible hardware solutions to design your own biologgers and satellite tags🐋🐢🐧

🌊🗑️🛰️ A new life highlight: telling UK Parliament we’re living in a litter sandwich

Plastic below in the ocean, debris above in Earth’s orbit.

I shared how:
1. We need space literacy
2. Prevention > clean-up
3. We must act fast, before we repeat old mistakes

[Alasdair Davies @Al2kA]

Great progress from @openmvcam with the new N6 and AE3 cameras. Especially the low power deep sleep on the AE3 for battery powered builds. Congrats to Kwabena and team 🥳 https://t.co/oMyGRjY2XR

7 years ago Arribada worked with @CLS_Group to open source an Argos satellite transmitter. Today, we're releasing our next generation SMD module at only 2cm in size and only EUR 49.99! There's never been a better time to build your own tags. Pre-order at https://t.co/gqUqAu5ZcB🛰️

📢A new job opening at Arribada -Firmware and Systems Engineer📢

Join us helping to monitor pangolins with thermal tech, develop satellite IoT bycatch mitigation solutions at sea (with ESA) and the usual mandatory sea turtle conservation work on remote beaches 🐢

[Arribada Initiative @arribada_i]

Interested in a career developing conservation technologies? 🔌⚡️

We've a new opportunity to join @arribada_i as a Senior Firmware and Systems Engineer, developing solutions such as our thermal imaging camera trap for Operation Pangolin https://t.co/t74mvm0bNs @WILDLABSNET

[Alasdair Davies @Al2kA]

@WorshipNature @arribada_i There's an upcoming avian tag in collaboration with RSPB that has your name on it (I will write Hem on it with a sharpie pen) in 2025

[Alasdair Davies @Al2kA]

A rare moment. The entire @arribada_i team in the same physical location on the planet! (minus Fai in Cameroon who we couldn't get a VISA for sadly). Not bad considering we live and work from 6 different countries🙏

[Alasdair Davies @Al2kA]

@EarthRangerTech @arribada_i Thanks @EarthRangerTech 🙏

[Alasdair Davies @Al2kA]

@FiretailVis great work 🙏
