The compact design attaches easily to inflatable life jackets and includes a strobe, infrared light, and Return Link Service (RLS) to confirm your signal was received. Built for global coverage with GNSS positioning via GPS and Galileo satellites, the PLB3 sets a new standard in personal marine safety.
