EPIRB Device

An emergency position-indicating radiobeacon station is a distress radiobeacon, a tracking transmitter that is triggered during an accident. These are detected by satellites. The system is monitored by an international consortium of rescue services, COSPAS-SARSAT. The basic purpose of this system is to help rescuers find survivors within the so-called "golden day"^[1] (the first 24 hours following a traumatic event) during which the majority of survivors can usually be saved.

Device manufatured in China to ISO standards.
