In 2004, GME revolutionised the EPIRB world with the introduction of the GME MT400, the first truly affordable 406MHz emergency beacon. Utilising the same ground breaking Australian technology, the MT410 (without GPS) and the MT410G (with integral GPS) AccuSat PLBs are the latest exciting extension to GME’s growing family of innovative safety products.
GME’s MT410 AccuSat range are waterproof to IP67 and also float. The high visibility yellow housing is made from a tough UV stable PVC material ensuring reliable operation in even the harshest environments around the world.
As most consumers are aware, the current 121.5MHz to 243MHz analogue COSPAS SARSAT service will be terminated in February 2009 and only the 406MHz digital beacon signals will be processed thereafter. Consumers have for some time recognised the major benefits of a 406MHz over a 121.5MHz device in faster, more accurate detection, personal identification of each beacon and reduced search area, resulting in a faster, more targeted response in a life threatening situation. However the prohibitive cost of 406MHz beacons has always been an issue.
Today with cutting edge microprocessor technology, GME’s engineers are able to provide the outdoor adventurer with a 406MHz PLB solution that is not only affordable, but provides enhanced peace of mind for all boaters and outdoor adventurers should they ever require emergency assistance.
GME has been designing and manufacturing emergency beacons in Australia for over 30 years. In that time literally hundreds of lives have been saved in Australia, Europe and right around the world.
The MT410 is supplied with a retention strap and protective carry pouch with belt loops. Measuring a compact 135x71x38mm and weighing approximately 240g, the MT410 retails for around £259.99 including VAT and the MT410G for £349.99. Sales to the commercial shipping market and technical support is provided by Sartech Engineering Ltd.
