Using personal Locator Beacons
  • PLBs are the variation of EPIRBs used by boaters.
    When you activate the PLB, it transmits the
    powerful distress signal received by the global
    system of satellites. PLB is also known for
    utilizing satellite networks. Most of the PLBs
    offer GPS-provided coordinates for pinpointing
    the location. If you are looking for the Best
    Personal Locator Beacon, then the below
    information will be helpful for you.
  • PLB Must Be Registered
  • When you buy a PLB, you must register it in the
    NOAA SARSAT database. Your PLB unit distress
    signal is associated with the necessary personal
    information, including Name, address, emergency
    contact number, medical conditions, etc. If you
    sell or transfer the PLB ownership, you must
    update the data every two years. 
  • PLB Battery Life
  • The PLB comes along with an equipped,
    long-lasting lithium battery. The battery remains
    dormant until you flip the switch. As per
    government regulations, the PLB class-2 battery
    can transmit -20 degrees F for 24 hours. These
    cold temperatures signify the worst-case
    scenarios. The battery is recommended to replace
    after the activations.

Using Satellite Messengers
  • Satellite messengers are similar to the PLB,
    which allows for sending SOS distress signals
    from remote areas. It offers additional features
    compared to the PLB, which is why it successfully
    surpassed the popularity of the PLB. 
  • Satellite messengers are a device which relies on
    GPS Satellites for serving location information
    commercial satellite networks. The cost of
    satellite messengers significantly changes based
    on your chosen feature type and unit.
