Less searching. More overview.
Find your animals faster and spend less time searching for them.
The hardware
The e-Bell
The e-bell is a central part of Beitekontrollen. It is equipped with GPS, a motion sensor, a replaceable battery, internal memory, and space for more advanced hardware.
This means the e-bell fits all types of animals and all coverage conditions — in academia as well as in agriculture and reindeer husbandry.
The Value of the e-Bell
More overview.
Less uncertainty.
These are four ways Grazing Control can help you
02
Know when something needs attention.
Get notified when something happens, so you can follow up on the animal quickly and efficiently.
03
Coverage where mobile networks don't reach.
Maintain an overview even in areas without mobile coverage.
04
New insights into your grazing area.
Learn more about your own grazing area with our reports and integrations.

GPS
Position from positioning satellites
Motion sensor
Sees activity, not just position
Replaceable battery
2–3 grazing seasons for sheep
Internal memory
Stores the track even without coverage
Expandable hardware
Capacity for custom software
A common misconception
Positioning satellite is not the same as communication satellite
All tracking tools use positioning satellites to determine where they are. What sets them apart is how they send the information back to you. There, you choose for yourself: mobile network, satellite, or both.
1 — Position
The e-bell reads GPS and knows where the animal is. The same for all three models.
2 — Communication
The position is sent to you through the mobile network, through low-earth orbit satellites, or both. This is what distinguishes the models.
Three models
Same bell, three ways to send
Sensors, hardware, and durability are exactly the same. The only thing that sets them apart is whether they send through the mobile network, through satellite, or both.
Mobile coverage where you graze
Select your coverage conditions above, and we'll point to the model that fits best.
Recommended
Model2 Blue
Mobile networkCommunicates through the mobile network. An affordable and flexible technology that lets you change the e-bell's behavior from your kitchen table. Outside of coverage, it stores where it has been and tells you as soon as it's back online.
- Change setup anytime over the mobile network
- Stores the track in internal memory outside of coverage
- Most affordable option
Recommended
Model2 Green
SatelliteAn uncompromising option for communication. It uses low-earth orbit satellites and thus has coverage everywhere, regardless of coverage conditions. To keep the price down, the behavior is set up via Bluetooth, and then it reports according to plan.
- Coverage everywhere, regardless of mobile network
- Setup via Bluetooth before release
- Reports according to a fixed schedule
Recommended
Model2 Red
Mobile network + satelliteCombines both technologies. You can change the transmission properties yourself while the bell is out in the field, and transmissions are cheaper via the mobile network. If it ends up outside the mobile network, it falls back on satellite.
- Change transmission properties while the animal is in the field
- Cheaper transmissions over the mobile network
- Falls back on satellite when out of coverage
Durability
Developed according to MIL-STD-810
The e-bell withstands physical stress, temperature fluctuations, and water. It is used by everyone from reindeer herders in Finnmark to large ranches in Kenya — and everything in between.
It is small and comfortable for the animal through long grazing seasons: under 200 grams, with a powerful battery you replace yourself.
Physical stress
Impacts, falls, and squeezing in terrain and barns.
Temperature
From winter cold in Finnmark to heat on the savannah.
Water
Rain, bogs, and river crossings throughout the season.
Battery
Replaceable. In a normal Norwegian grazing season for sheep, it lasts for 2–3 seasons.
