Looks to me more like the modems used for doing automatic meter readings (AMR) might be only place they can get signal for sending the readings . Cant make out all the details on the unit from the picture .

any chance you can get a closer pic of the writing on the unit can try search for it definitely seems to be some kind of remote unit maybe it is linked to something for animal control that they can setoff remotely ie a sound or light

[Richprins]

Oh, you mean the machine, not the unit?

Will try, Rog!

cant seem to find any references to that unit anywhere which is strange .Maybe its some kind of a custom made unit just for SANPARKS .

[Richprins]

Maybe a sonic thing to chase bats? That's what I thought...

[RogerFraser]

Possibly those normally have a small speaker you can see where the sound is transmitted which I cant see on this unit but maybe its on the side .

The AMR part stands for automatic meter reading, so I don't think it's for bats
