Cordless Avalanche Transceiver
A Cordless Avalanche Transceiver is a safety device used by skiers and snowboarders in avalanche-prone areas. It helps rescuers locate buried individuals by emitting a radio signal. Skiers wear the transceiver, which can switch between sending and receiving modes. If someone is buried during an avalanche, the transceiver can detect signals from other devices within a range, allowing rescuers to pinpoint the person's location quickly. The cordless aspect means it operates wirelessly, which enhances its convenience and reliability in emergency situations in the wilderness. Proper training in its use significantly increases survival chances in avalanches.
