GNSS positioning via GPS, Galileo, and GLONASS delivers location accuracy within 100 meters, while simultaneous AIS broadcasts alert nearby vessels with AIS transponders — speeding local rescue response independent of satellite infrastructure. NFC connectivity lets users access beacon data directly from a smartphone via the ACR Product App, including battery status, self-test history, and GNSS test records. A 121.5 MHz homing signal, white visible strobe, and infrared strobe give arriving search-and-rescue teams multiple ways to zero in on the beacon in low-visibility or nighttime conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border:2px solid #0B2240;background:#F5F1E8;padding:16px;border-radius:6px;margin:16px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:bold;color:#0B2240;margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003eImportant: Register Your Beacon Before You Head Out\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003eThis is a 406 MHz emergency beacon.
