ACR GlobalFix V5 RLB-44 AIS EPIRB RLS 406MHz Cat II

Speed rescue response time

The new ACR GlobalFix V5 RLB-44 AIS EPIRB combines 406 MHz satellite connectivity with Automatic Identification System (AIS) functionality. This means that when the EPIRB is activated not only does it transmit your emergency signal to the global Cospas Sarsat satellite rescue system, it also broadcasts an AIS safety message on VHF frequencies that can be seen immediately by any AIS equipped vessel nearby.

Other great features include Return Link Service (RLS) technology that provides visual confirmation to the user that their distress message has been received, a 121.5 MHz homing signal, and visible and infrared strobe lights for easy target identification at night or in poor visibility. Another new feature is Near Field Communication (NFC) which allows users to monitor their EPIRB using a smartphone App.

ACR is the global leader in marine safety and rescue technology and the ACR GlobalFix V5 RLB-44 AIS EPIRB combines the durability and reliability they are known for with advanced technology designed to speed rescue response time. These advanced features make the GlobalFix V5 perfect for mariners whether coastal cruising, working offshore or crossing oceans.
