UK based McMurdo released their Fastfind 210 PLB to the US market in February 2009. Unlike personal signaling products such as the SPOT Satellite Messenger, the Fastfind is a single-purpose device whose sole purpose is to alert rescuers to your location in "situations of grave and imminent danger." It accomplishes this via the standard 406 MHz band of the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system that has been operational since 1979.
