- An Emergency Beacon is a device designed to assist travellers in distress by summoning assistance. It does this by transmitting a repeating signal on a frequency reserved for that specific purpose. The signal may be a simple pulse designed to help rescuers fix a location, or it may contain information as to whose beacon it is, and the type of assistance - medical or law enforcement - needed. Requesting fire assistance is not ordinarily an option, as nearly all automatic fire-fighting systems include the ability to signal outside authorities in the event the system cannot extinguish the fire itself.

Requesting fire assistance is not ordinarily an option, as nearly all automatic fire-fighting systems include the ability to signal outside authorities in the event the system cannot extinguish the fire itself. Emergency beacons come in four basic types. Exact details of each type of unit (size, mass, etc) may vary slightly, but they will perform in similar manner.
