GMDSS Radio Survey Blog
The Second Generation Beacon (SGB) is a product that has been expected in the maritime industry in the last few years. Operational requirements, specifications and type approval standards for Cospas-Sarsat second generation 406 MHz beacons have been developed and adopted. The space and ground segments of the system that allows the SGBs to operate are close to achieving Full Operational Capability (FOC).
As a manufacturer of testers for EPIRBs, ELTs and PLBs, we are working hard to develop a device for conducting a complete radio survey of SGBs. The prototype of the tester is at the last stage of designing.
