EPIRB – EMERGENCY POSITION INDICATING RADIO BEACON

The Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) is a critical life-saving device designed to alert international search and rescue authorities in the event of a maritime emergency. Operating on the 406 MHz distress frequency, the beacon transmits a digitally encoded emergency signal via satellite networks, ensuring rapid detection and response. The EPIRB is equipped with automatic water-activation functionality, enabling immediate operation if the vessel sinks or the unit is immersed. A secondary homing signal assists rescue teams in locating the beacon with increased accuracy during final recovery operations. The integrated long-life lithium battery supports extended transmission duration, ensuring continuous operation during prolonged rescue efforts. Designed for harsh marine environments, the EPIRB features multiple false activation prevention measures and a robust housing capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, vibration, and exposure. Suitable for installation on ships, lifeboats, and offshore installations, the device is an essential component of SOLAS-compliant marine safety equipment.
