xEARXeroth Environment Acoustics and Radio

Listen to life.
Detect the signals.

Bioacoustic and radio-frequency monitoring, detection, classification, localisation and re-identification. A growing family of sensing nodes, connected by a shared hub and an evidence-led approach.

Acoustics + radio

One landscape.
More ways to understand it.

Animal calls and radio emissions reveal different kinds of activity.

xEAR — Xeroth Environment Acoustics and Radio — brings both into a connected monitoring family. Acoustic nodes capture bird and bat calls. RF nodes investigate radio activity and its origin. Dedicated RF re-ID nodes preserve waveforms to study whether a transmitter has been encountered before.

Timing, original recordings and observation context connect detections to evidence that people can review.

01 / BIOACOUSTICS

Hear wildlife.

Audible and ultrasonic recordings support call detection and species classification. Connected observations support localisation and individual-animal re-ID research.

02 / RF MONITORING

Find radio activity.

Coordinated receivers explore bands for transient emissions. Signal characterisation and shared timing support research into classification and localisation.

03 / RF RE-ID

Recognise a return.

A separate recorder design keeps selected original RF waveforms and receiver context for transmitter fingerprint research across encounters.

From a signal to evidence

What happened?
Where? And was it here before?

Detection finds an event. Classification describes it. Localisation estimates its source. Re-identification investigates whether separate events came from the same animal or transmitter.

xEAR is in development. Acoustic and hub designs are selected; RF and RF re-ID remain architecture explorations. Field coverage, localisation accuracy and re-ID performance are not yet qualified. No system detects every call or transmission.
