Kannad Marine has introduced the SafeLink SOLO Personal Locator Beacon (PLB).
The PLB will be available through Ocean Safety, the Kannad Marine, UK distributor and a number of other retailers.
The SafeLink SOLO PLB gives individuals direct contact with search and rescue services when a life-threatening incident occurs, no matter where the user is in the world. The SafeLink SOLO PLB is a compact and lightweight beacon that is waterproof to 10m, and its rugged design and durable construction means users can confidently carry it into any environment.
The integral 406 MHz beacon operates on the global COSPAS SARSAT satellite communication system, which is supported by international government search and rescue authorities around the world. 50 GPS channels ensure the beacon’s position can be pinpointed accurately and speedily identified by search and rescue teams, even in the most remote of locations. Subscription free, the SafeLink SOLO PLB does not rely on commercial call centres.
