emergency beacon

An emergency beacon is a device designed to send distress signals to rescue authorities during emergencies, such as accidents or natural disasters. When activated, it transmits a designated signal via satellite or radio, helping rescuers locate and assist the individual or group in trouble. These beacons are often used by hikers, mariners, aviators, and adventurers, providing rapid response and enhancing safety in remote or hazardous environments. They operate independently of local communication networks, ensuring help can be summoned even when traditional systems are unavailable.
