Personal Locator Beacons and GPS Messengers

A Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) is an emergency lifesaving device for use when all else fails. When activated, a PLB transmits a powerful signal to an international constellation of satellites. Once the signal is received, the satellites, either triangulate the location of the PLB (takes about 40 minutes) or they simply receive the GPS coordinates of a GPS enabled unit (3 minutes) and then transmit the coordinates to a ground based monitoring agency. Your coordinates are then communicated to the appropriate search and rescue team. GPS enabled units pinpoint your location more precisely than non-GPS units thereby facilitating a much quicker rescue.
