One of the World’s Most Compact and Affordable Personal Locator Beacons for under $300.00. Kannad announces the new XS-4 Satellite Personal Locator Beacon (PLB): the most compact, waterproof and versatile 406 MHz emergency location beacon available on the market today.

The XS-4 is an essential piece of life-saving equipment, weighing in at just 5.3 oz (150g) and having the size of an average mobile telephone (actual dimensions being 1.34”/34mm x 1.85”/47mm x L 4.17”/106mm) it will slip into the smallest pocket or backpack compartment. The user can activate it in the most remote locations around the world: on land, at sea or in the air, and can be confident of being able to contact the world’s professional search and rescue services directly if they are to encounter a possibly life-threatening situation.

The XS-4 comes equipped with an internal GPS system and complies with rigid federal and international standards. It operates on the global COSPAS/SARSAT 406MHz search and rescue satellite communication system, so a call for help will be acted upon…and fast. The XS-4 is subscription FREE and does not rely on any commercial call centers.

The Kannad XS-4 transmits two signals simultaneously: a global 406 MHz signal and a 121.5MHz local signal. Once activated, the XS-4’s signals will continue to transmit for at least 24 hours, at a powerful 5 watt output, the 406 MHz transmission ensures that a call for help gets through, no matter what the conditions. The XS-4 also includes a unique flashing SOS LED light to further assist in speeding up the user’s recovery time during night rescues.

The XS-4 will operate in temperatures as low as -20°c and its integral battery has a user storage life of 5 years, so there’s no need for frequent battery changes or re-charging. The XS-4 PLB is classified as non-hazardous for shipping: air or ground.
