PERSONAL LOCATOR BEACON

PLB

This one is also integrated into the LAP.
The PLB sends a signal to a Satellite or other Receivers. This way the rescuer can ascertain at which co-ordinates a drowning person or drowning group is situated.
This will speed up the rescue of the drowning persons.
The PLB activates as soon as it comes in contact with water.

The PLB's are also used on offshore locations by persons who are working on or out board.
We also sell the PLB's complete with harness.
