GME has released its most advanced personal locator beacon (PLB) - designed and manufactured right here in Australia.
The new MT620GR has a range of cutting-edge features. It’s GME’s first PLB with RLS (return link service) coupled with a mobile app to enable greater clarity of the PLB operational status.
The RLS feature means that when, in an emergency, you turn on your PLB a small light will flash indicating a sattelitte has received your PLB’s signal and that signal is being relayed to the nearest Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC), in the case of Australia, that is in Canberra.

In addition, the new PLB features GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) for improved global positioning, a 121.5 MHz homing signal to aid Search and Rescue SAR.
The MT620GR is approved for worldwide COSPAS-SARSAT operation, ensuring reliable distress alerting and Return Link Services globally.
