VEP8BD Beidou EPIRB — this is a modern emergency radio beacon designed for rapid rescue on the water. The device transmits a distress signal and information about the progress of the rescue operation through the Beidou geostationary satellite system with coverage in the Asia-Pacific region. In the event of an accident, the radio beacon automatically activates, floats to the surface of the water and transmits data about the ship's location and a distress signal.
Main advantages:
- Low operating costs thanks to the low cost of replacing batteries and hydrostats.
- Effective protection against false alarms thanks to a two-level security system.
- High visibility thanks to eight bright LED lamps.
- Long working hours: more than 48 hours at +20 °C.
- Integrated GPS system for precise positioning with an error of up to 2.5 m.
- Transmitting a signal with the progress of the rescue operation, which increases the confidence of victims.
