ACR is the most trusted name in personal locator beacons used by military maritime and aviation professionals

406MHz COSPAS-SARSAT transmission is the international standard for distress alerting with no subscription required

The only emergency signaling device that guarantees a rescue response from anywhere on Earth with no subscription fee

Why This Matters

The Garmin inReach requires a subscription. Cell phones require coverage. Satellite phones require a plan. The ACR ResQLink+ requires nothing beyond the one-time purchase to trigger a worldwide rescue response. Activate it anywhere on Earth and rescue services receive your GPS coordinates within minutes. No subscription no service plan no coverage requirements.

Product Description

The ACR ResQLink+ is an FAA-approved, Coast Guard-accepted Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) that transmits a 406 MHz distress signal directly to the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite network and NOAA when activated. Your GPS coordinates are relayed to rescue authorities within minutes—no subscription or monthly fee required. The beacon works everywhere on Earth and is waterproof to 49 feet. Battery life lasts 24+ hours of continuous transmission. Register your beacon with NOAA for free to enable immediate response.

Real Use Case

You are on a remote wilderness evacuation route when a medical emergency incapacitates a group member beyond your ability to treat. You are 30 miles from the nearest road with no cell signal and no satellite messenger subscription. You activate your ACR ResQLink+. Within 90 minutes search and rescue has your precise GPS coordinates and a helicopter is dispatched. The one-time device purchase enabled a rescue that nothing else could have.
