Garmin · Dog Tracking & Training
The Garmin Alpha® LTE is a rugged GPS dog tracker designed to help handlers stay connected during the hunt using LTE cellular technology. Attached to a dog’s collar, it lets the dog’s movements be viewed on a compatible smartphone through the Alpha app, with tracking available within LTE coverage (subscription required).
This configuration supports multi-GNSS for improved reception in challenging environments and adds a large multicolor LED light to help identify a dog after dark. It’s built to endure harsh outdoor conditions and provides multiple battery life options depending on tracking settings, with USB-C charging for straightforward power management.
Alpha® LTE uses LTE cellular technology to extend tracking beyond traditional line-of-sight limits, so the dog’s position can be followed within LTE coverage. LTE service can connect to AT&T and T-Mobile Network, and viewing on a compatible smartphone requires using the Alpha app and an active subscription.
For more confident location updates in demanding terrain, Alpha® LTE leverages multi-GNSS technology and supports GPS and Galileo. By using multiple satellite systems for improved reception, it helps deliver more precise dog location information when conditions make tracking harder.
A large, easy-to-see multicolor LED light helps identify a dog in low light. Color options include yellow, magenta, cyan, white, green, red or blue, making it easier to distinguish dogs or improve visibility when hunting after dark.
Navigation
When paired with the Alpha app on a compatible smartphone, Alpha® LTE shows where the dog is and adds practical navigation tools. Integrated mapping in the app helps users navigate and mark waypoints along with key locations such as game trails, habitat and game sightings, keeping useful hunt information organized as the day develops.
Connectivity
Alpha® LTE can be paired to select Garmin dog tracking handhelds and collars (sold separately) for a redundant tracking setup that uses LTE and VHF signals.
