According to ACR, ResQLink View RLS is the world's first PLB with the capability to provide the user with a clear confirmation message via a digital display screen verifying that the international satellite system Cospas-Sarsat has received their distress message and location.
"Now we can offer the latest innovation in life-saving technology to our beacon owners with a confirmation light, or even via a message on our ResQLink View RLS display screen, as reassurance that help is on the way — a significant boost for morale in a life-threatening emergency," explains Mikele D'Arcangelo, vice president of global marketing and product management for ACR Electronics.
Incorporating a multi-constellation receiver that uses both the Galileo GNSS as well as the GPS Satellite network for faster location and improved accuracy, ACR PLBs operate on the three Cospas-Sarsat satellite systems including the new MEOSAR.
This ensures they will offer near-instantaneous signal detection and transmission enabled by the global MEOSAR satellites and upgraded ground-station components.
Using the next-gen network, anyone activating a ResQLink PLB can expect their beacon to be located within 100 meters (328 feet), 95% of the time, within five minutes of the distress signal, according to ACR.
