Do you have an Apple smartphone?

• With an Android smartphone, a signal range of 350 meters can be achieved (in ideal conditions)
• With an Apple smartphone the result will be more limited een beperkter resultaat to be obtained due to the Bluetooth restrictions imposed by Apple.
• For the best results, it is advisable to use an Android smartphone.
  Or you can use the Apple smartphone in combination with the RANGE-PRO (more details below).

2. The Applicator

Securely attach the VespaNano Tag safely, controlled and at your pace to a captured hornet with the applicator.

• Supports precise hook attachment with minimal handling.
• Easy to use, both for beginners and experienced users.
• Ideal for efficient use.

The choice of a VespaTracker Applicator depends on your experience and preference:

The shape and dimensions of the VESPA-NANO allow the Tag to be attached in various ways: with a hook, glue, or thread/rubber band. The choice of attachment method will depend in practice on the size of the captured hornet and the experience and preference of the user. You are responsible for safe and correct use.

The VespaTracker Applicator is optimised for attachment using its hook.

Are you already using an applicator or do you have your own method? Then you can often continue to use it. The VespaTracker Applicator is therefore not mandatory.

3. The NANO charger
 

The fast charger is required for safely and quickly charging the sheet with the VESPA-NANO Tags.

• Charges the entire sheet and thus all Tags at once which saves time in the field
• Fully charged sheet in 2 hours
• Via USB-C cable (not included)
• One charger is sufficient, even when you purchase multiple sheets.

4. The RANGE-PRO

Currently only compatible with Android

The RANGE-PRO extends the reception range of the VESPA-NANO signal from about 350 meters with just the smartphone to ±500 meters (tested with an Android smartphone in ideal conditions). 

By connecting your smartphone to the RANGE-PRO, a powerful system is created that combines sensors, GPS, compass, and motion detection. This results in a accurate and visual representation of signal strength and direction, making tracking more intuitive and efficient.

• Reception beyond classic BLE specifications
• Yagi antenna for directional RF detection and increased sensitivity
• Long range with proprietary protocol
• Adjustable sensitivity scale for close detection (anti-overmodulation)
• One-handed device, always one hand free
• Universal smartphone holder included (smartphone not included)
• 100 hours autonomy on 2x AA batteries (not included)
• Firmware upgradable via the App, making it always compatible with future Tag generations
• Dimensions of Range-Pro as shown in the image: H: ~25.5cm x W: ~22cm

The choice of a VespaTracker RANGE-PRO depends on your needs and usage:

• For quiet or recreational use the Tags combined with the Hunting Module on your smartphone are sufficient. This module will be available in the first week of May 2026 in the free HornetSpotter app (Android & Apple).
• If you wish to find multiple nests more quickly and accurately in a day, then the RANGE-PRO offers a clear added value.

The promised performance and range extension are only guaranteed when using the VESPA-NANO in combination with the VespaTracker RANGE-PRO.

5. The GRID-PRO

The GRID-PRO makes it possible to monitor an entire area at once. By setting up a perimeter, the system detects automatically and in real time any VESPA-NANO equipped wasp that enters the area.

Ideal for zones where multiple nests are suspected, allowing interventions to be more efficient and targeted. Also perfect for protecting fruit cultivation, agricultural, and viticultural areas.

• Equipped with GPS and NB-IoT for connectivity and location determination
• Battery life of up to 5 years
• Robust and designed for long-term use in outdoor conditions
