Full description
The ACR GlobalFix V5 AIS Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon is a cutting-edge EPIRB with a distinctive range of features. It includes an AIS alert, offering the most straightforward and fastest route to rescue. The integrated Return Link Service (RLS) gives users peace of mind by confirming directly to the beacon that their distress signal has been received. The incorporation of Near Field Communication (NFC) enables connectivity with smartphones, providing unprecedented access to data and product interaction. With these sophisticated features, the GlobalFix V5 is ideal for mariners, whether they’re coastal cruising, working offshore, or navigating across oceans.
