When triggered, the SmartFind S10 AIS beacon transmits GPS position information to
all AIS-equipped vessels and stations within range to assist fast recovery in emergency
situations. Waterproof and fully submersible to 60 metres, each unit is encoded with
a unique serialised ID to ensure all crew are recovered and accounted for. To further
assist in recovery, the S10 also features a flashing LED light. The lithium power cell
