McMurdo, a business unit of the Orolia Group (NYSE Alternext Paris- FR001050105 – ALORO) will feature the Fast Find 220 Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) in booths 1642 (Electronics Room), A95 and C95 at the 2013 Miami International Boat Show, February 14-18 in the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Nominated for a NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association) Product Innovation Award at the show, the McMurdo Fast Find 220 is a powerful distress beacon providing a direct method of alerting search and rescue authorities where no other forms of communication are available, using the 406 MHz search and rescue satellite communication system, COSPAS SARSAT. The beacon also transmits a 121.5MHz homing signal.
Waterproof to 10 meters and able to operate in temperatures as low as -4°, once activated the 220 will transmit continuously for a minimum of 24 hours at a powerful 5 watt output. The compact beacon weighs just 5.4oz and features a reusable safe-stow antenna (new top cap will be required prior to next use). An LED SOS flash light assists with rescues during limited visibility or at night. The Fast Find 220 PLB provides the user with a full six years of battery life, has no subscription charges and includes a flotation pouch, lanyard and universal carry pouch.
