DISCONTINUED
No matter what kind of boating you do, accidents happen everyday on the water. When the situation turns from bad to worse, make sure you are prepared! The ultimate in marine life saving technology is now readily available. Unleash the power of the GlobalFix™ 406 MHz GPS EPIRB and turn that life threatening situation into a successful rescue story. It's as easy as flipping a switch, and with an internal GPS receiver, the GlobalFix™ will acquire your GPS position and transmit it along with your personalized identifier code through the Sarsat satellites, instantly alerting SAR forces that you need help immediately! The GlobalFix™ works fast - when GPS data is present in the beacons's first burst, SAR forces can be notified and start planning your rescue in as little as three minutes.
Independently tested in real world scenarios, the GlobalFix™ outperformed all other 406 MHz EPIRBs on the market. Be Responsible. Be Prepared. Be Safe.
