Kannad lance la XS-4 et la XS-ER

Guidel 11-2-10 – KANNAD, a company of the Orolia Group (NYSE Alternext Paris – FR0010501015 – ALORO) announces today the launch of a range of cutting edge new Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs), heralding an important evolution in distress beacons dedicated to light aviation.

The range includes two new Personal Locator Beacons (PLB), the palm sized XS-4 GPS and the professional handheld XS-ER GPS. The ability to have an ultra small PLB in your pocket adds another dimension to safety while complementing the benefits of an aircraft’s onboard fixed Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) distress beacon.
Both the XS-4 GPS and the XS-ER GPS comply with international standards, and meet US and EU approvals. They operate on the global COSPAS SARSAT 406MHz search and rescue satellite communication system. The system is supported by international government search and rescue authorities around the world, so a call for help will be acted upon and fast. Moreover, the XS-4 GPS and the XS-ER GPS are subscription free.

The two models both feature built-in GPS for additional pinpoint location, further speeding up time of recovery. They transmit two signals simultaneously: one transmits to the global 406 MHz satellite system and the other, 121.5MHz, is a homing signal designed to facilitate the local retrieval response process. Registration enables each PLB to transmit a unique identification signal providing important ID information about the pilot.

The bright yellow PLBs are potential life savers, and can be activated very simply if an aircraft gets into difficulty on land or at sea .
Both the XS-4 and XS-ER will be available on the 1st of March 2010.
