Head offshore with confidence. With three levels
of integrated signal technology — GPS positioning, a powerful 406 MHz signal
and 121.5 MHz homing capability — the GlobalFix™ PRO quickly and accurately
relays your position to a worldwide network of Search and Rescue satellites,
reducing search time and increasing your chances of survival. It’s reliable
signaling technology that has saved more than 26,800 lives since 1982.
The GlobalFix™ PRO broadcasts a unique registered
distress signal that not only tells rescuers where you are, but who you are.
The internal GPS will automatically turn on and acquire your position upon
activation and then utilizes a powerful 406 MHz signal to relay your distress
call to orbiting satellites. As local Search and Rescue is deployed, a
separate homing signal and integrated LED strobe light guide rescuers to your
exact location.
