What are PLB’s?

 

PLB’s are tracking transmitters which aid in the detection and location of boats, aircraft, and/or persons In distress. When activated, PLB’s send out a distress signal that, when detected by non-geostationary satellites, can be located by triangulation. Our PLB’s use the 406 MHz and GEOS technology which transmit digital signals so the beacons can be uniquely identified almost instantly and  give a GPS position.  Using the initial position provided via the satellite system, the distress signals from the beacons can targeted by SAR aircraft and ground search parties who can in turn come to the aid of the concerned boat, aircraft, and/or persons.

 

 

Why rent a PLB?

The importance of a PLB on extended ocean cruises or unfamiliar waters where you may be out of radio contact is clear.  PLB’s have been proven to save lives in emergency situations. Unfortunately the technology and rugged construction of these devices comes at a high cost. If you are planning an occasional trip, renting a PLB may be a cost effective alternative to purchasing one outright. In addition to the financial savings, we take the hassle out of registration and the ongoing maintenance associated with keeping these devices in good working order and ensure you have the latest and most reliable technology available!
