🔍 Key Concepts

• 406 MHz EPIRB capabilities versus older 121.5/243 MHz EPIRBs • Role of COSPAS-SARSAT in global satellite search and rescue • How GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) uses EPIRBs and digital identification

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself which of the listed features are actually provided by modern 406 MHz satellite EPIRBs, not older types. • Consider whether 406 MHz beacons help only with communication, only with locating, or with both identification AND location. • Think about how GMDSS improves distress alerting: does it focus on compatibility, speed/accuracy of rescue, unique identification, or some combination of these?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options describe real, documented functions of 406 MHz EPIRBs under GMDSS. • Check if 406 MHz EPIRBs send a digitally encoded ID that can include vessel information. • Before choosing, ask: do 406 MHz EPIRBs provide only one of these benefits, or are they designed to provide multiple simultaneous advantages?
