Your personal connection to the global 406 MHz satellite search and rescue system.

Explore the world with peace of mind. If you find yourself in a remote area without any other form of emergency distress communication, activating your FastFind 220 satellite PLB will summon emergency assistance.

FastFind 220 Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) uses advanced technology and was the world’s first PLB to offer accelerated location detection with both GPS and Galileo GNSS receivers. Using the dedicated 406 MHz distress frequency, FastFind 220 sends its unique ID number and GNSS geographical location to the global network of Cospas Sarsat search and rescue satellites.

Packed into a simple, compact and lightweight unit, the FastFind 220 PLB will slip into the smallest pocket or backpack compartment. FastFind 220 can be carried as a last resort safeguard against any life-threatening incidents that may occur anywhere in the world. Whether alone or within a group, on holiday, at work, carrying out your sport or hobby, if you ever find yourself in a remote area, without any other form of communication, the FastFind range of PLBs come into their own.

Once activated, FastFind 220 transmits its unique identification signal and current geographical position via the 406 MHz international search and rescue satellite system operated by Cospas Sarsat. Within minutes, search and rescue professionals are alerted to your situation and receive regular position updates.

The Fast Find range is subscription free and does not rely on commercial call centres.
