With the introduction of Return Link Service (RLS) technology and Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities, the EPIRB2 provides significant advantages over its predecessors. RLS comforts those who activate the beacon by confirming that their distress message has been received and the inclusion of NFC capability allows use of a smartphone app to monitor the EPIRB’s battery and other functions ensuring it is working properly. The innovative new features of the EPIRB2 make it an excellent choice for a wide variety of marine applications specific to both recreational and commercial vessels.
