Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) are the last resort in emergencies, on land but especially at sea. They are typically small, handheld, subscription-free devices with the sole purpose of sending out an emergency SOS signal to nearby rescue centers. Their signals are picked up by specialist search and rescue COSPAS-SARSAT satellites and they operate on strict frequencies so as not to interfere with other radio waves. PLBs can be used anywhere and can be paired with other satellite communication devices like satellite phones or trackers for optimum accuracy and location precision. The Military Some PLBs are designed with military-grade ruggedness and so can be used in even the most extreme environments. They can be activated on impact so the user doesn’t have to worry about consciously sending an alert while in a stressful situation. They are lightweight and compact enough to be strapped to a bulletproof vest for example. The Search To maximize the chances of a successful rescue, s...
