- Description
The new ACR GlobalFix V5 EPIRB combines 406 MHz satellite connectivity
with Automatic Identification System (AIS) functionality. This means
that when the EPIRB is activated not only does it transmit your
emergency signal to the global Cospas Sarsat
satellite rescue system, but it broadcasts an AIS safety message on VHF
frequencies that can be seen immediately by any AIS-equipped vessel
nearby. Other great features include Return Link Service (RLS)
technology that provides visual confirmation to the user that their
distress message has been received, a 121.5 MHz homing signal, and
visible and infrared strobe lights for easy target identification at
night or in poor visibility. Another new feature is Near Field
Communication (NFC) which allows users to monitor their EPIRB using a
smartphone App. ACR is the global leader in marine safety and rescue
technology and the new GlobalFix V5 GPS EPIRB with AIS combines the
durability and reliability they are known for with advanced technology
designed to speed rescue response time.
