sMRT Personal Location Beacon sMRT Shield+ Class M

The sMRT SHIELD+ represents a major advancement in the field of personal locator beacons (PLB). Compact and efficient, this high-tech beacon combines several essential features to ensure optimal safety during sea activities. It integrates 406 MHz, MOB AIS and DSC technologies, making this beacon incredibly versatile and reliable.

Its main asset lies in its ability to serve as two beacons in one. The sMRT SHIELD+ takes advantage of the global search and rescue network via the 406 MHz satellite signal while exploiting local alert and tracking systems such as DSC and MOB AIS. This dual compatibility makes it a global solution, ideal for responding to distress situations efficiently.

Its location accuracy is enhanced by state-of-the-art GNSS receivers, combining GPS and Galileo technologies for increased speed and reliability. Thanks to the Return Link Service (RLS) function, it informs the user that the distress signal sent has been received, thus providing peace of mind.

In addition, the sMRT SHIELD+ is easy to use, especially thanks to its dedicated mobile application. Compatible with NFC (Near Field Communication), this application allows you to easily check the beacon's settings and battery level.

It also integrates several specific features:

• 406 MHz: Transmission of distress signals via the global satellite network for extended coverage.
• AIS: Real-time update of the man overboard location, visible to nearby ships.
• VHF DSC: Automatic alert sent to all ships in the vicinity in case of a man overboard situation.
• Return Link Service (RLS): Confirmation that the distress alert has been received by the rescuers.
• Double GNSS: Quick location thanks to GPS and Galileo receivers.
• Class M: Compliance with European regulation ECC/DEC/(22)02 on MOB devices.
• Intuitive mobile application: Access to the complete data of the beacon and NFC compatibility.

With its advanced performance and well-thought-out features, the sMRT SHIELD+ is an indispensable tool for sea activities, ensuring safety and serenity in critical moments.
