The ACR ResQLink 400 Advanced Floating Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) is one of the most trusted emergency safety devices for boaters, sailors, anglers, kayakers, trampers, hunters, and outdoor adventurers throughout New Zealand. Designed to provide a direct connection to the international COSPAS-SARSAT satellite rescue network, the ResQLink 400 delivers fast, accurate emergency distress alerts without requiring a subscription, mobile phone coverage, or internet connection.

Compact, lightweight, and built to float, the ResQLink 400 features integrated GPS and Galileo GNSS positioning, enabling rescue authorities to quickly determine your location during a life-threatening emergency. Once activated, the beacon transmits a 406 MHz distress signal via satellite while simultaneously broadcasting a 121.5 MHz homing signal, allowing rescue teams to pinpoint your exact location during the final stages of a rescue operation.

Unlike satellite communicators that require ongoing subscriptions, the ACR ResQLink 400 operates subscription-free, making it one of the most cost-effective and reliable personal safety devices available for marine and outdoor use. Built-in buoyancy ensures the beacon floats if dropped in the water, while a high-intensity LED strobe and infrared strobe improve visibility during low-light and night-time rescue operations.

Whether you're sailing offshore, fishing beyond mobile coverage, kayaking remote coastlines, or exploring New Zealand's backcountry, the ACR ResQLink 400 provides peace of mind when every second counts.
