Introduction
The ResQLink range of products provides the user with the latest technology specifically designed for
compact size and ease of operation. In the event that you fall overboard, the ResQLink AIS is intended
to alert your vessel and plot your location on a suitable AIS equipped chart plotter on other vessels
within VHF radio range. At the same time the ResQLink AIS will alert the 406MHz Cospas-Sarsat
satellite global emergency system. Equipped with the latest RLS technology, in the event of activation,
the ResQLink AIS will indicate that the emergency signal has been received via the satellite system
and passed to land based Mission Control Centres to initiate appropriate rescue services.
The Galileo Return Link Service allows people in distress to receive automatic
acknowledgement that their signal has been received.
