Signal Transmission: Sends a distress signal on 406 MHz, detected by COSPAS-SARSAT satellites.
Location Identification: GPS-enabled EPIRBs provide precise location data.
Rescue Coordination: Signal relayed to ground stations, notifying search and rescue authorities.

Types of EPIRB
Standard EPIRBs: Operate on 406 MHz.
GPS-enabled EPIRBs (GPIRBs): Include GPS for accurate location.
INMARSAT E EPIRBs: Operate on 1.6 GHz for specific areas.

Why Are EPIRBs Important?
Global Coverage: 406 MHz EPIRBs offer worldwide coverage.
Accuracy: GPS-enabled EPIRBs provide precise location data.
Reliability: Modern EPIRBs reduce false alarms and ensure quick rescue.
Regulations and Maintenance
Mandatory Equipment: All registered ships must carry EPIRBs.
