GME MT605G 406MHz GNSS EPIRB Manual Activate GPS Emergency Beacon
The GME MT605G 406MHz GNSS EPIRB is a premium manually activated Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon designed to provide rapid emergency alerting and precise location reporting for recreational and commercial vessels operating in New Zealand and offshore waters. Engineered to meet international marine safety standards, the MT605G combines advanced GNSS positioning technology with the global COSPAS-SARSAT satellite rescue network to deliver fast, accurate emergency response when it matters most.
Featuring integrated GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning, the MT605G calculates your vessel's location and transmits this information via a powerful 406MHz distress signal to search and rescue authorities. A dedicated 121.5MHz homing beacon further assists rescue crews in locating the vessel during the final stages of a rescue operation.
The manually activated design provides complete control over emergency activation while offering exceptional reliability and long battery life. Compact, rugged, and fully waterproof, the MT605G is designed to withstand harsh offshore conditions and is suitable for yachts, launches, fishing vessels, commercial boats, and offshore cruising craft.
The beacon is supplied with a mounting bracket for secure onboard storage and rapid deployment in an emergency. Its highly visible design and powerful distress signalling capabilities make it an essential piece of marine safety equipment for offshore and coastal boating throughout New Zealand.
