ACR - ResQLink AIS GPS Personal Location Beacon PLB-450 - w/AIS & RLS

Your Lifeline in the Vast Ocean: The ResQLink AIS GPS Beacon

Imagine yourself navigating the vast ocean, with the confidence that even in the most unexpected situations, a world-class beacon has got your back. Welcome to the realm of ResQLink AIS GPS Personal Location Beacon, a masterpiece by ACR, the globally recognized brand, trusted by both hobbyists and experts of the marine world.

Unveiling the Tech Marvels

The ResQLink AIS isn't just any other Personal Locator Beacon (PLB). It's the world's FIRST beacon to harness the power of AIS (Automatic Identification System), NFC (Near Field Communication), and the trusted Cospas Sarsat rescue system. With the integration of GNSS (GPS, Galileo, Glonass), and 406 MHz satellite connectivity, this beacon assures reliability wherever you go. The 121.5MHz homing transmissions, coupled with AIS and both visible and infrared strobe, are designed for swift recoveries.

For mariners, it's not just about sending distress signals, but also the assurance that it reaches the right ears. The advanced Cospas Sarsat satellite system, with its three different constellations, ensures that the distress signals reach the global Search and Rescue units with an accuracy of within 100 meters. With the added AIS functionality, any vessel equipped with AIS transponders within the VHF radio range gets alerted about your distress position. This remarkable feature significantly amplifies the chances and speed of the rescue.

Illuminate the Path to Safety

Once the beacon gets deployed, the ResQLink AIS unfurls its magic. Its white and infrared strobes guide the rescuers, especially during the night or when visibility is compromised, ensuring that help reaches you without delay.

Stay Connected, Stay Informed

Why rely on guesswork when you can get precise data? With NFC technology, accessing data becomes a breeze. Simply place your smartphone near the beacon, and voilà, you have all the information you need at your fingertips. From battery life to the number of tests done, it's all there.

A Signal of Assurance: The Return Link Service

In distress situations, knowing that your signal has been received is a huge relief. The Return Link Service (RLS) does exactly that. It sends back a confirmation, letting you know that the Coast Guard is informed and on its way to assist you.

A Seamless Integration with Your Life Jacket

The ResQLink AIS comes with an easy-to-use integration system that fits perfectly within life jackets. Whether you're using it with an inflatable PFD or attaching it to a buoyant life jacket, this beacon ensures that you're always protected and locatable.
