The FastFind Return Link is a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) that receives a Return Link Message (RLM) when triggered, to let the user know that they have been detected and located.
When triggered, the FastFind Return Link transmits a unique serialized ID to the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system which can pinpoint user location anywhere on the earth's surface - this is typically within minutes but can be longer depending on satellite coverage.
The Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC) then forwards the details of the emergency to the appropriate local Search and Rescue (SAR) services.
This Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) is waterproof and fully submersible down to 10 meters. It features an inbuilt GPS and Galileo receiver that can pinpoint user location within a few meters and decode RLMs.
If the GPS-GALILEO has difficulty obtaining position fix and RLM (i.e. if affected by dense tree cover or steep-sides canyon) the satellites will still be able to pinpoint approximate user location and the unit’s secondary homing transmitter enables SAR teams to home in on exact location once they are in the vicinity.
This Personal Locator Beacon unit also features a flashing SOS light which can be used to attract attention.
The lithium power cell offers a minimum of 24 hours of continuous operation and a 5-year battery replacement period.
