The spring & summer camping, hiking and 4WDing season is fast approaching – and with international airports still in chaos, there’s no doubt Aussies will be doubling down on local trips to the Great Outdoors.
But with only 14% of the Australian landmass covered by mobile phone reception, it’s important Aussies pack the right tech to keep themselves safe and connected while they explore.
Introducing GME, the only Australian-owned manufacturer of Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) – a life-saving piece of tech that calls for help in an emergency situation when you have no mobile phone reception. Australia’s Search and Rescue System returns an average of 2,000 lost adventurers per year – and it’s these handy little devices that alert safety services to your location when the worst happens.
The MT610G PLB is the most compact and lightweight design ever. It includes a ‘Non-Hazmat’ battery pack for ease of transport, is waterproof and offers an impressive seven-year battery life and six-year warranty.
Featuring an integrated 72 channel GPS receiver, zero warm-up time, high intensity LEDs, IP68 Ingress Protection and an inherently buoyant design, the compact size of the MT610G has not compromised the safety features included. The MT610G is designed to meet and exceed the latest international standards and is Cospas-Sarsat Class 2 certified.
The MT610G Personal Locator Beacon from GME has a recommended retail price of $379. Full stockist list available www.gme.net.au/au/find-a-dealer
