ENOS Rescue-System
== ENOS Rescue-System ==
The ENOS Rescue-System is a specialized emergency and rescue system designed for use in water sports and maritime activities. It is primarily used by divers, sailors, and other water-based recreational enthusiasts to ensure safety and facilitate quick rescue operations in case of emergencies.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The ENOS Rescue-System was developed to address the need for a reliable and efficient method of locating individuals who have become separated from their group or vessel in open water. The system utilizes GPS technology and radio frequency communication to transmit the location of the person in distress to a receiving unit on the vessel or shore.
Components[edit | edit source]
The ENOS Rescue-System consists of two main components:
- Transmitter: A compact, waterproof device carried by the individual. When activated, it sends out a distress signal containing the GPS coordinates of the person in need of rescue.
- Receiver: A unit located on the vessel or shore that receives the distress signal and displays the location of the transmitter on a digital map, allowing for quick and accurate rescue operations.
Functionality[edit | edit source]
When a person activates the ENOS transmitter, it immediately begins transmitting their GPS coordinates. The receiver unit, upon receiving the signal, alerts the crew or rescue team and provides the exact location of the individual. This significantly reduces the time required to locate and rescue the person, increasing the chances of a successful recovery.
Applications[edit | edit source]
The ENOS Rescue-System is widely used in various maritime activities, including:
