Mini-Sat 406Mhz PLB (with internal GPS)  
   


Outdoor enthusiasts now have access to the latest in cutting edge Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) technology with the new 406 MHz Mini-Sat from Kti

Setting an unprecedented world standard in PLB design and performance, the new KTi 406MHz MINI-SAT is compact, fast and reliable. Ideal for bushwalkers, four wheel drivers, cross country skiers and small aircraft pilots, the KTi Mini-Sat PLB is the ultimate global rescue link for people who want peace of mind in the outdoors.

Built to replace the popular KTi RB3 beacon, the new 406 MHz Mini-Sat harnesses the more accurate 406MHz COSPAS-SARSAT and 121.5MHz satellite frequencies to deliver pinpoint detection accuracy and faster rescue response times.

The KTi Mini-Sat leads the world not only in design and technology, but breaks new ground in efficiency with a class leading 10 year battery life. Ultra-low current circuitry and patented low-loss aerial system delivers performance that exceeds the COSPAS requirements of 24 hours continuous transmission at -20°C.

For added levels of safety, KTi also offers the GPS equipped Mini-Sat-G giving the PLB a detection accuracy of up to 1.0 metre. The multi-helix GPS aerial design is highly resistant to shielding by nearby objects while tracking with the GEOSAR satellites.
