The Smartfind EPIRBs work by transmitting radio signals which are detected by the COSPAS SARSAT satellite network. A distress signal is automatically relayed through an automatic ground station to a control centre where it is decoded and the distress and registration details are passed on to the relevant search and rescue authority.
Both Smartfind EPIRBs are the result of an extensive research and development program offering state of the art technology for both recreational and commercial boaters.
