The world's most compact personal locator beacon, measuring at just 77 x 51 x 32.5mm (H x W x D). Engineered and manufactured in the United Kingdom, RescueME PLB1 can be operated with a single hand, even in the most challenging situations. The activation button is covered by a simple spring-loaded flap, preventing accidental activation.
Once the device has been activated, the integrated ultra-bright strobe light ensures maximum visibility, and the antenna can be deployed with a gentle pull on the aerial. Your position and ID is transmitted to a Rescue Coordination Centre via satellite link. Rescue services closest to you are promptly notified of your emergency and regularly updated with your location to assist a quick rescue. As the personal locator beacon works with the only officially recognised worldwide dedicated search and rescue satellite network (operated by Cospas Sarsat), there are no charges to use this service, as it is funded by governments.
