EPIRB Explained
As a core component of the GMDSS, EPIRB technology has been proven in the commercial marine world. Once activated either automatically by contact with saltwater or manually, the EPIRB transmits a signal via satellite that can be picked up by rescue services to provide your location. On its own or in conjunction
with the SA50 SART an EPIRB greatly enhances your chances of being rescued.
