This makes AIS EPIRBs an upgrade over the traditional EPIRB. The difference comes in the additional integration with AIS. In addition to the regular EPIRB distress transmission on 406 MHz, they transmit on AIS so that the distress can also be detected by vessels in their immediate vicinity.Īs they transmit on 406 MHz, they work in the same way as all other EPIRBs. So, what are AIS EPIRBs?ĪIS EPIRBs are satellite distress beacons (EPIRBs) with an integrated AIS transmitter. In the article “ How Do EPRIBs Work?”, we looked in detail at how they work, and briefly introduced the concept of AIS EPIRBs.ĪIS EPIRBs are set to become a lot more common as they will soon be a standard part of a ship’s GMDSS equipment. I have already discussed regular EPIRBs in-depth on this website.
