ACR Product App vs Waterway Guide Usage & Stats

The ACR App allows easy access to Class B AIS and Emergency PLB/EPIRB information. Live AIS targets can be displayed as well as Test and Ownership details for Distress Beacons. NFC (Near Field Communication) allows access to ResQLink AIS PLB and GlobalFix V5 details where operation time, Battery condition and test results can be easily checked and displayed on a mobile device. The use of NFC ensures that maximum battery capacity can be ensured giving you confidence that a Beacon will give maximum performance when required in an emergency situation. WiFi connection to the ACR CB2 gives access to live AIS target data along with status and performance details. Initial configuration with vessel details for the CB2 Class B AIS is also carried out via the WiFi connection.
