Why Choose ResQLink AIS
As the world’s first PLB to combine AIS, NFC, and traditional satellite signaling, the ResQLink AIS delivers instant local notification to nearby vessels and global SOS coverage through 406 MHz. This dual signaling approach increases the chances of a swift rescue, especially in busy waterways or remote areas.
How It Works
Upon deployment, the beacon transmits a 406 MHz distress signal with precise GNSS positioning to the global Cospas Sarsat system. Simultaneously, AIS broadcasts alert to nearby ships, which can view your MMSI and location on their AIS displays. A white and infrared strobe provides a visual beacon for responders, while the 121.5 MHz homing signal helps rescuers locate you even if you drift from the initial position. NFC makes it easy to verify functionality and access critical data with your smartphone.
Rugged, Ready, and Reliable
Designed for the harsh conditions at sea and in the backcountry, the ResQLink AIS delivers reliable performance worldwide with integrated GPS, GNSS, and AIS capabilities. It’s the dependable choice for mariners who demand the fastest possible rescue timelines and the best situational awareness.
