SPOT Gen4 Satellite Communicator

Portable emergency satellite communication device a satellite emergency notification device or send is a portable emergency notification and locating device which uses commercial satellite systems rather than the cospas-sarsat satellite system. An example of this device is spot. The devices use an internal gps chip to gather location information. When the send is triggered, this information is sent via commercial satellite to a commercial monitoring agency whose role is to pass the information to an appropriate responding agency. The responding agency contacted depends, in part, on the location. Examples of responding agencies would be military search and rescue, coast guard, local police, voluntary search and rescue.

ACR Electronics ResQLink 400 Personal Locator Beacon

An emergency beacon for hiking (also known as a personal locator beacon, or plb)  is a small handheld device that  will send out a distress signal in the event of an emergency. Plbs operate using satellite technology, and therefore work even when you don’t have cell service, which is why they’re recommended for backcountry hikers and skiers. When activated, your plb will transmit a homing signal which communicates your exact location to a global system of satellites which then communicate that information to the appropriate mountain rescue team to mobilize a search and rescue mission. A true plb serves a single purpose – to send out a distress signal when you need help.

Best Personal Locator Beacon

Nobody ever wants to have to call for help on an adventure. But when you do need a hand—whether it’s because you missed a turn and can’t find your way back or because you took a tumble and broke a leg—you’d better make sure whatever lifeline you have works. That’s where a personal locator beacon (plb) or satellite communicator comes in. Whether you’re in the middle of the atlantic ocean or deep in a utah canyon, a network of satellites is ready to hear your call for help. But not all units are made alike. Some devices do nothing more than sos, while others let you keep in touch with and reassure friends and family off the grid, and still others bundle a full comms hub with precise gps capabilities and even a camera to create a single all-in-one device.
