Advanced Personal Safety Beacon Integrating Satellite, AIS and Return Link

This innovative personal beacon combines global satellite distress alerting with automatic identification system broadcasts, enabling both worldwide and localised rescue coordination. Designed for professional and recreational use, it delivers faster distress location accuracy, live confirmation feedback, and enhanced night-time visibility through powerful strobes and infrared signalling.

Key Features

  • Global emergency distress communication: Transmits a 406 MHz signal to the Cospas-Sarsat satellite network, initiating worldwide emergency rescue response upon activation.
  • Integrated AIS location alert: Simultaneously sends an AIS transmission to nearby vessels, providing instant regional awareness to speed up rescue operations.
  • Return link service with user confirmation: Confirms that distress messages have been received by rescue services through a visible indicator, improving user confidence during emergencies.
  • Multi-GNSS positioning capability: Acquires positioning from multiple constellations including GPS, Galileo and Glonass for fast, precise location fixes.
  • High-intensity LED and infrared strobes: Enhances visibility for search teams during night or low-light conditions, with infrared signalling compatible with night-vision equipment.
  • NFC connectivity with smartphone app: Allows users to perform simple diagnostics, view beacon status, and run self-tests using a connected mobile device.
  • Long-life battery with extended operational readiness: Designed for over 24 hours of continuous operation and featuring a 5-year battery replacement cycle.
  • Compact, rugged and waterproof construction: Built to withstand challenging maritime and terrestrial environments, providing reliability when needed most.

Strengthen your emergency preparedness with a feature-rich personal beacon that combines global reach with fast, localised rescue notification.
