Usiing technology in the outdoors
Take them everywhere. An Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) or Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) is a lifesaver. These beacons are used by emergency services to find those who have gone astray or been struck down by an emergency situation.
EPIRBs are designed specifically for maritime applications. They quickly alert authorities as to the whereabouts of distressed vessels and their crews, while PLBs (as their name suggests) alert authorities to the whereabouts of individuals.
“I’ll never need one of those, I can take care of myself in the outdoors.” Pretty much famous last words from outdoorsy types. The media regularly carries stories of bush walkers and Barry Crump types who have had cause to use a PLB – or wish they’d taken one along.
GME is the only Australian manufacturer of emergency beacons and has been designing, engineering, and manufacturing EPIRBs and PLBs for more than 30 years. In that time its beacons have been used to save hundreds of lives around the world.
MT610G: Safety made simple.
The all-new Australian Made 406MHz GPS Personal Locator Beacon, the MT610G is a compact and lightweight device, making it easy to fit into a pack or even day pack for outdoor adventuring by vehicle or on foot.
The MT610G is a super compact, lightweight PLB, offering an impressive seven year battery life and a six year warranty. It has a ‘Non Hazmat’ battery pack for ease of transport and travel.
The MT610G has been designed, engineered, and manufactured in Australia, to provide the outdoor adventurer or lone worker with a GPS PLB solution that is compact, easy to use, and affordable.
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 unit has not compromised the safety features included.
It is designed to meet and exceed the latest international standards and is Cospas-Sarsat Class 2 certified, ensuring peace of mind for bush walkers, 4WDers, remote workers, and hunters alike.
XRS-390C: Rugged radio, redefined.
Anybody who has gone into an amazing off-road location will also know the frustration of trying to communicate with another vehicle in the group. The country’s mobile phone coverage actually doesn’t extend much beyond our state highway network.
GME offers the first UHF CB radio to feature a built-in GPS receiver, offering true location awareness without relying on a smartphone to provide GPS location data. Australia’s only manufacturer of UHF CB radios and an industry leader in communication technology for more than 60 years, GME is proud to introduce the latest addition to the Australian made XRS Connect range of UHF CB Radios, the XRS-390C.
The XRS-390C underwent design, engineering, and manufacturing at the company’s head office in Western Sydney. It offers a full range of market-leading features including IP67 Ingress Protection and a MIL-STD 810G rating. The latter is a US-devised test process that defines environmental stress sequences, durations, and levels of equipment life cycles. It is used to evaluate equipment’s performance when exposed to a life cycle of environmental stresses in tough conditions.
GME says this makes the XRS-390C its toughest radio yet.
This radio has been specifically developed to suit 4WDs, UTVs and other vehicles operating in challenging conditions. Both the hideaway main unit and the rugged OLED speaker microphone are dustproof and waterproof, ensuring ultra-reliable performance in the toughest environments.
The class-leading XRS-390C sets a new benchmark for UHF CB Radios and is backed by GME’s five-year warranty.
