A winner of the 2021 DAME Design Award, this small yet resilient personal locator beacon that has been professionally engineered and tested, ensuring it can withstand the harshest environments. The personal locator beacon boasts a digital display that provides live status and GPS coordinates, and includes the new Return Link Service feature. RLS works by sending a signal back through the Cospas Sarsat network to confirm to the beacon user that the distress message from a beacon has been received, and their location has been detected. Beacons with RLS provide confirmation to the user that their beacon's emergency distress message has been received, and that their location has been detected. User confirmation is distinctly indicated by a flashing blue light, and a corresponding message on the digital display.
ResQLink View RLS has three levels of integrated distress signalling technology: GPS positioning, a powerful 406 MHz signal and 121.5 MHz homing capability. This enables the PLB to quickly and accurately relay your position to a worldwide network of search and rescue satellites. In addition, a built-in strobe and infrared strobe significantly aid nighttime or other low visibility rescues.
