The Return Link Service (RLS) uses the unique functionality of the Galileo satellite system to confirm the distress signal and PLB location have been received after the beacon has been activated. When the Galileo system receives an alert and the Galileo GNSS location coordinates have been detected, the Return Link Services transmits a signal back to the beacon activating the small blue flashing confirmation light. A valuable reassurance that the emergency services have been notified and have received the beacon location.
The Fast Find Return Link features the latest advanced technology packed into a simple, lightweight, palm sized unit, smaller than a mobile phone. A personal distress beacon requires no subscription and provides a direct method of alerting the search and rescue authorities when no other forms of communication are available. The FastFind Return Link incorporates both Galileo and GPS GNSS services for a position accuracy of less than 100 m and when activated, transmits on 406.031 MHz (alert) and 121.5 MHz (homer) frequencies for over 24 hours. A high intensity flashing strobe light aids rescue at night or in low light situations,
