No matter what kind of boating you do, accidents happen everyday on the water. When the situation turns from bad to worse, make sure you are prepared!
The ultimate in marine life saving technology is now readily available. Unleash the power of the GlobalFix 406 MHz GPS EPIRB and turn that life threatening situation into a successful rescue story. It's as easy as flipping a switch, and with an internal GPS receiver, the GlobalFix will acquire your GPS position and transmit it along with your personalized identifier code through the SARSAT satellites, instantly alerting SAR forces that you need help, immediately!
The GlobalFix works fast, When GPS data is present in the beacons' first burst, SAR forces can be notified and start planning your rescue in as little as three minutes. Independently tested in real world scenarios, the GlobalFix out performed all other 406 MHz EPIRBs on the market.
The Globalfix 406 is 17.5 x 4.75 x 3.5 in (44.4 x 12.1 x 8.9 cm). The high impact polycarbonate blend case/polyethylene bracket only weighs 2.3 lbs (1.04 kg). Has an automatic, hydrostatic release that deploys when water depth is approximately 13 ft (4 m) and begins transmitting. The unit has 5 watts of power with frequencies of 406.028 MHz, 121.5 MHz. The unit is waterproof 33 ft (10 m) and has a limited 5 years warranty.
