By integrating seamlessly with the latest iOS technology, the app ensures that users can easily track and manage their beacon’s readiness with the security and functionality iPhone users expect. -
Safety Beyond the Sea:
While designed with maritime use in mind, EPIRBs are also vital for individuals working in remote or isolated environments on land. The new iPhone compatibility broadens the app’s potential impact beyond just maritime users, providing a wider range of users—such as wilderness explorers or mountain surveyors—an additional safety net. -
Easy Beacon Registration and Data Management:
The app simplifies the process of registering beacons and managing user data, an essential aspect of EPIRB functionality. With the new iOS version, iPhone users can quickly register their beacons and access all relevant data, ensuring compliance with international maritime safety regulations and simplifying the management process. -
