To get started with Nofence, all you need is a smartphone and a set of collars.

The collars use GPS to track livestock and detect when they’re near a boundary. To communicate updates and alerts, Nofence uses the mobile network — similar to how your phone sends a text message.

A stable mobile signal helps you get the most from Nofence.

Nofence collars uses mobile networks when you interact with the collars — for example, updating pastures or checking on your livestock.

When the collars are connected to a mobile network, you can:

• Move your herd between pastures or update boundaries in seconds
• See where each individual animal is  - real-time
• Get alerts if something’s wrong, like no movement from a collar
  

The collars don’t need a mobile connection to enforce boundaries — they only need it to receive any changes made by you in the app, or to communicate back to you.  

Best of all, because each collar has an internal sim-card which connects to the mobile networks  -  there is no need for a base station, nor a ground wire.
