An emergency personal locator beacon, an electronic transmitting device, provides the signal to the potential rescuers during a life-threatening situation in the air, water, or remote areas. The device is named a personal locator beacon, or PLB. The device is so powerful and effective to save lives.
Personal Locator Beacon PLB is a useful device for scenarios such as Man Overboard incidents, Helicopter ditching, Skiers caught in a landslide, and Hiker loss. PLB will auto-activate within 5 seconds and send the signal when activated on either a 406MHz frequency or Local Area System using 121.5MHz, VHF DSC, and/or AIS. The automatic water activation feature can help to grab assistance from a friend, colleague, rescue authorities, staff, and nearby monitoring assets. This technique depends on the devices and technology PLB used.
At the time of danger, the personal beacon locator sends signals to vessels and rescue teams on accurate and dedicated frequencies that work worldwide. Some require receiving devices to send information to, whereas others work with already established worldwide radio and electronic monitoring devices.
1. When the distress situation arises, Personal Locator Beacon is activated, and a signal is sent from a PLB /EPIRB /ELT.
2. This danger signal is received by the COSPAS SARSAT satellites.
3. These COSPAS SARSAT satellites send the sign to the most expected stations on earth called Local User Terminals (LUTs).
4. A Local User Terminal (LUTs) sends the information to a Mission Control Centre (MCC).
5. When a signal is received and identified by Mission Control Centre (MCC) to be a critical call from a particular area, the Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC) in that area is warned.
6. Regional search authorities are notified of the location and the distress situation and then action is taken to rescue the person in danger.
