Designed for offshore sailors, bluewater anglers, and coastal cruisers, this kit pairs 406 MHz Cospas-Sarsat satellite distress signaling with AIS broadcast capability, Return Link Service confirmation, and a buoyant RapidDitch Express Bag that organizes and floats up to 15 lbs of gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlobalFix V5 Cat 2 GPS AIS EPIRB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen activated, the GlobalFix V5 simultaneously transmits a 406 MHz emergency signal to the global Cospas-Sarsat satellite rescue network and broadcasts an AIS safety message on VHF frequencies, making the vessel's position visible to any nearby AIS-equipped boat immediately. Return Link Service (RLS) technology provides on-device visual confirmation that the distress message has been received by the satellite system. A 121.5 MHz homing signal, plus both visible and infrared strobe lights, assist search-and-rescue teams in locating survivors at night or in reduced visibility. Near Field Communication (NFC) support lets users monitor EPIRB status through a smartphone app.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRapidDitch Express Bag\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe water-resistant, reflective RapidDitch Express Bag is constructed to organize survival essentials using integrated pockets, tethers, and loops.
