GlobalFix V5 AIS EPIRB
GlobalFix V5 AIS EPIRB
A novel EPIRB with a distinctive feature set is the new ACR GlobalFix V5 AIS Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon. The inclusion of an AIS alert offers the simplest and fastest route to safety, while the Return Link Service (RLS) functionality offers a comforting feeling of security by directly confirming your distress message has been received by a beacon. By using Near Field Communication (NFC), it is now possible to connect smartphones, access previously unattainable data, and interact with products. The GlobalFix V5 is ideal for mariners who are traveling along coastal waters, operating offshore, or crossing oceans thanks to its sophisticated feature set.
Here is the newest EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) on the market. Automatic Identification System (AIS) capabilities and 406 MHz satellite communication are combined in the new ACR GlobalFix V5 EPIRB. This means that when the EPIRB is activated, it broadcasts an AIS safety message on VHF frequencies that can be instantly visible by any nearby AIS-equipped vessel in addition to transmitting your emergency signal to the global Cospas Sarsat satellite rescue system.
Other notable features include a 121.5 MHz homing signal, visible and infrared strobe lights for simple target identification at night or in low light conditions, and Return Link Service (RLS) technology, which gives the user visual proof that their distress message has been received. Near Field Communication (NFC), which enables customers to monitor their EPIRB using a smartphone App, is another new function. The new GlobalFix V5 GPS EPIRB with AIS from ACR, a world pioneer in marine safety and rescue technology, combines their renowned dependability and durability with cutting-edge technology intended to shorten rescue response times.
Quicker Rescues by Combining Global and Local Rescue
The GNSS (GPS, Galileo, and Glonass) positioning networks are used by the ACR GlobalFix V5 EPIRB to determine its precise location anywhere in the world. Upon activation, 406 MHz distress messages relay the GPS EPIRB (GPIRB) position to the global Cospas Sarsat search and rescue satellite network, which is accurate to within 100 meters. Through the satellite network, EPIRB identification and position data are transmitted to ground stations, starting rescue operations. Now that the EPIRB is equipped with cutting-edge AIS technology, when it is activated, an AIS signal is sent that promptly alerts adjacent vessels equipped with an AIS transponder to the EPIRB's location.
A safety message with MMSI vessel identification will appear on the screens of AIS-equipped vessels within VHF range of the EPIRB. Once the EPIRB has been activated, vessels in the area can begin rescue and recovery operations right away without having to wait for the appropriate SAR authority to respond to the situation. Local emergency personnel can quickly determine the EPIRB's location by using AIS, which displays the EPIRB as an AIS target on their onboard display. By choosing the AIS target, nearby vessels with onboard AIS can navigate directly to the EPIRB. This amazing technological development will shorten recuperation times, saving lives without a doubt.
Connecting smartphones via Near Field Communication (NFC)
Users can utilize their smartphones to get EPIRB diagnostics thanks to NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. The ACR Product App on a smartphone instantly launches and gives users access to EPIRB data when it is placed close to the GlobalFix V5 EPIRB. The app's beacon status data includes battery life, the number of self-tests and GNSS tests that have been conducted, and the duration of the EPIRB's activation. Each self-test and GNSS test that the device does can be examined in great detail. The location of the last test, its date and time, how long it took the EPIRB to gain a fix on the GNSS coordinates, how many satellites were utilized to get that fix, and the precision of the fix are all displayed on a map during GNSS tests. Users may simply check the status of all EPIRB features to make sure they are functioning properly thanks to easy app interaction using NFC.
Return Link Service (RLS)
Whoever activates the EPIRB is informed via Return Link Service that the distress signal has been sent. The distress signal, along with the precise beacon location and identification, have been recognized, according to an RLS signal relayed back by the Galileo satellite network. The EPIRB's successful reception of the Return Link message from the Galileo satellite network is indicated by an easily seen flashing blue light. Stress related to mayday circumstances is lessened by the assurance that rescuers are aware that an EPIRB has been activated and that they know where it is.
ACR is an expert in creating electronic rescue tools and other goods that can save lives for both seasoned and novice seafarers. With the inclusion of AIS, the cutting-edge new ACR GlobalFix V5 EPIRB offers the simplest and quickest route to rescue. Near Field Communication gives EPIRB customers access to data and product capability that has never before been available to any EPIRB client, while Return Link Service offers the welcome assurance that your distress message has been heard. The GlobalFix V5 EPIRB is ideal for mariners, whether they are cruising along the coast, operating offshore, or traveling across oceans due to its new and advanced feature set.
