Australian manufacturer of communication and safety technology, GME, has launched its latest "maritime safety innovation" — the MT605G EPIRB.

Australian communication technology company GME has launched a first-of-its-kind device, aimed at keeping Australians safe and connected, particularly in regional and remote areas with limited or no mobile phone service, the XRS-660 handheld UHF CB radio that includes GPS.

The company which claims to be Australia's leading outdoor safety and communication brand has cautioned Australians that the new iPhone feature, which allows for communication outside cellular and Wi-Fi coverage, should not depend on it because it is not failproof.

GME is the only Australian manufacturer of UHF CB radios and emergency beacon products and has been delivering industry-leading RF communication devices for over 60 years. When it comes to a personal locator beacon – or PLB – you’re literally putting your life in its hands. iTWire CEO and intrepid sailor Andrew Matler tried out the GME MT610G PLB for himself to assess how well it stands up to the job of providing safety, coverage, and ease of wearing whether you’re at sea, in the bush, farming, 4WD’ing, or engaging in a range of other adventure or remote location/working activities.
