The ACR ResQLink AIS GPS Personal Location Beacon PLB-450 with AIS & RLS is a compact PLB that includes both AIS (Automatic Identification System) and smartphone connectivity with NFC (Near Field Communication) in addition to standard satellite notification through the Cospas Sarsat rescue system. This unit has multiple levels of integrated signaling technology including GNSS (GPS, Galileo, Glonass) and 406 MHz satellite connectivity for worldwide service. This PLB transmits a 121.5 MHz homing signal to guide Search and Rescue to the beacon's current location in real time. It is designed to install within a life jacket and will activate upon inflation of the jacket.
This Personal Locator Beacon is equipped with AIS that simultaneously alerts all vessels equipped with AIS transponders within the VHF radio range of the PLB's distress position. Immediately upon deployment of the beacon an AIS Safety Message or MOB Alarm with the beacon's MMSI and location is presented on any AIS screen within range. It has smartphone connectivity from a mobile phone or tablet to access beacon data including self-tests, batty life and the amount of time the beacon has been activated. It also features RLS (Return Link Service) that sends a signal back through the Galileo satellite network to confirm the message has been received and location detected.
