What is an EPIRB: An EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) is a life-saving marine distress beacon that, when activated, sends an SOS with your GPS position to Search & Rescue via the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system-no subscription fees. GLOBAL SATELLITE SOS + LOCAL AIS ALERTING: Transmits a 406 MHz MEOSAR distress signal for worldwide satellite alerting and an AIS emergency message so nearby AIS-equipped vessels can see your distress on their chartplotter immediately-subscription-free safety. RETURN LINK SERVICE (RLS) CONFIRMATION: RLS gives a clear visual acknowledgement that your SOS has been received by the satellite network, providing confidence that help is being notified even when you have zero mobile coverage-no monthly plan required. MANUAL RELEASE BRACKET (CAT 2): Supplied with a Category 2 manual release mounting bracket for quick grab-and-go deployment. Activate the EPIRB by hand in an emergency-ideal for day boats, coastal cruising, and vessels where float-free auto release isn’t required. GPS POSITIONING + 121.5 MHz HOMING + APP SUPPORT: Built-in GNSS provides fast, accurate coordinates, while 121.5 MHz homing helps SAR pinpoint you in the final search; mobile app makes self-tests and status checks simple-no subscription and no ongoing fees.
