Advanced Telemetry Systems, Inc. (ATS) is a manufacturer of sophisticated, state-of-the-art telemetry systems used by researching biologists, scientists, and ecologists, world-wide. Our commitment to fish and wildlife bio-telemetry dates back to 1963, when researchers at the University of Minnesota, Cedar Creek Bio-electronics Laboratory, first began exploring electronic methods of tracking animals in the wild. This commitment continued with the founding of Advanced Telemetry Systems in 1981 by a core group of engineers and biologists from Cedar Creek. These men and women had been instrumental in fielding the first successful automated animal tracking system. We are a privately held corporation located in Isanti, Minn., a rural community about forty-five minutes north of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Our facility has grown rapidly over the years to keep pace with an expanding global demand for our innovative and cost-effective radio telemetry solutions. Our most recent expansion, completed in 2004, more than doubled the size of our facility. Today, our building includes space for over fifty ATS employees, and houses our research and development, sales and customer service, and manufacturing operations.
