Description

The ACR ResQLink AIS Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) is the most technologically advanced beacon in the world as it contains both satellite and local transponders. With the introduction of Automatic Identification System (AIS) functionality, Return Link Service (RLS) technology, and Near Field Communication (NFC) capability in one 406 MHz beacon, the ResQLink AIS represents a critical advancement in the evolution of PLB technology. The combination of 406 MHz and AIS distress messaging pairs both global and local rescue into one beacon for the first time, extending access to the Coast Guard and Search and Rescue as well as commercial and recreational boats in the area. Alerting local AIS equipped boats in your vicinity allows for additional vessels to respond directly to the digital mayday with your precise location.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from No flotation sleeve included. I’ve purchased two of these in the past and both came with a flotation sleeve for the unit but this one did not. I contacted ACR and I guess they stopped including it but it can be purchased additionally. I guess $600 didn’t have enough profit margin for their product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hoping to never have to use it. This is one of these things, like a fire extinguisher, that one hopes to never have to use. But if it is ever needed, it seems like a brilliant piece of electronic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Safety Device Best of boat worlds in personal safety for being located. AIS transmits to satellites and AIS transmits to other marine radios in the area. Fits on vest/harness souch more likely to be on you if/when you accidentally go overboard.

Questions

Do you offer a service to re-program the coded country code from United States to Switzerland and possibly ad a boats MMSI (required for PLBs on Swiss flagged boats )?

Asked by: Armin
No, you would need to purchase the device in the country you are based in.
