The ACR ResQLink AIS Personal Locator Beacon is a compact high-tech Emergency Beacon that is the world’s first PLB to include both AIS (Automatic Identification System) and NFC (Near Field Communication) in addition to standard satellite notification through the Cospas Sarsat rescue system. AIS means instant local notification for faster rescue times. NFC ensures the beacon is working properly when needed and provides easy access via smartphone to all functions and records. Accurate positioning through GNSS (GPS, Galileo, Glonass) and 406 MHz satellite connectivity means reliable service worldwide. 121.5 MHz homing transmissions combined with AIS Man Overboard (AIS MOB) and both visible and infrared strobes aid in beacon location and speed recovery times. The innovative new ACR ResQLink AIS is the FIRST to combine all these features in a compact easy-to-use PLB Beacon making it the FIRST choice for serious mariners looking for the best Personal Locator Beacon for boaters.
