NOVATECH Radio Beacons, Iridium Beacons and Xenon Flashers are used in a wide variety of submersible and surface applications. During submersible applications, they are attached to underwater equipment such as ROV, AUV, and scientific equipment. When the equipment returns to the surface, the radio beacon and xenon flasher turn on automatically to provide a radio signal and an intense flashing light to assist in the recovery of the equipment. During surface applications, they are used for search and rescue, drift studies, oil spill tracking, equipment location, and warning applications. NOVATECH has just introduced a new line of Micro beacons.
