ACR GlobalFix V5 AIS EPIRB: Advanced Technology for Swift Rescues
The ACR GlobalFix V5 AIS EPIRB is a cutting-edge emergency beacon designed to speed up rescue response time. Featuring 406 MHz satellite connectivity and Automatic Identification System (AIS), this EPIRB ensures swift and accurate distress signal transmission to the global Cospas Sarsat satellite rescue system and immediate visibility to AIS equipped vessels nearby.
Reliability of ACR EPIRB and Quick Rescue Response
Equipped with GNSS (GPS, Galileo, Glonass) positioning networks, the GlobalFix V5 EPIRB provides precise location information for faster rescue. When activated, both the 406 MHz distress transmission and the AIS signal are relayed, alerting the worldwide Cospas Sarsat search and rescue satellite network, and nearby AIS-outfitted vessels respectively. The AIS target display further enables local responders and nearby vessels to navigate directly to the EPIRB, significantly speeding up recovery times.
Unmatched Smartphone Connectivity & Return Link Service (RLS)
With Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, users can access EPIRB diagnostics using their smartphones, providing crucial beacon status information at their fingertips. The unique Return Link Service (RLS) confirms the successful delivery of the distress message, indicated by a flashing blue light, adding a reassuring layer of safety in emergency situations.
