Description
The ACR ResQLink AIS Personal Locator Beacon (Model PLB-450) represents a significant advancement in emergency safety technology for maritime and wilderness adventurers. This sophisticated device is the first of its kind to integrate both global satellite signaling and local Automatic Identification System (AIS) functionality into a single, compact unit.

Designed for those who prioritize safety in remote environments, the device includes Return Link Service (RLS) technology, providing the user with an automated confirmation that their distress message has been received by authorities. Integration with the mobile application via Near Field Communication (NFC) allows users to easily verify battery health, check signal status, and review GPS diagnostics. With a rugged, lightweight design intended for attachment to inflatable Personal Flotation Devices, this beacon is built to endure harsh conditions. It features a high-intensity strobe and infrared light to aid in visual detection during low-visibility scenarios. Providing reliable performance without the need for a recurring subscription, this beacon offers peace of mind for sailors, pilots, and backcountry explorers who require a dependable link to professional search and rescue services.
