The all new GlobalFix iPRO Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB)
is the next generation in marine safety electronics. The GlobalFix iPRO is a
breakthrough product that boasts a digital display and dual GPS technology.
GlobalFix iPRO sports a digital display that allows you to see all of the
beacon’s operational activities. The screen displays GPS LAT/LON, operating
instructions, usage tips, transmission bursts as well as battery power.
iPRO makes self-testing your beacon simple and easy to understand with the
digital display visually walking you through the self test step by step, no more
relying on listening to beeps and LEDs.
The GlobalFix iPRO is also the first EPIRB that offers Dual GPS Technology.
Interface your iPRO to your onboard GPS to ensure that your LAT/LON is stored
inside so the coordinates are transmitted in the first data burst. iPRO’s
internal GPS is optimized for cold starts and is tested and refined at ACR’s GPS
Simulation Center so that it will pin-point your exact location faster than
standard GPS enabled EPIRBs.
