Description
sMRT Shield
The sMRT Shield has been developed to take advantage of the next-generation improvements to the MEOSAR system including the introduction of the new Return Link Service (RLS). The sMRT Shield features a dedicated indicator to inform the user their distress message has been received and give the user peace of mind that help is on the way. The sMRT Shield is a 406 Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) developed in conjunction with the European GNSS Agency (GSA) for the recreational industry to help save lives at sea in case of a Man Overboard (MOB) situation.
