Description: Matsya is a GPS-enabled life jacket designed for fast rescue in water emergencies, ideal for tourism and water sports safety.
Matsya is an advanced life jacket that offers unparalleled safety with its integrated emergency retrieval system. Unlike traditional life jackets that fail to provide effective tracking for individuals stranded at sea, Matsya is equipped with a GPS module that activates upon water immersion. This module accurately acquires the wearer's GPS coordinates and broadcasts them over an emergency frequency with a range of up to 500 meters, enabling nearby emergency services to locate and rescue the wearer efficiently. Utilizing a LoRa (Long Range) Radio transmitter, Matsya ensures that the coordinates are transmitted on emergency SOS frequencies. This innovative product is particularly suited for the tourism and water sports industries, where the demand for such safety solutions has increased due to the rising number of water-based accidents.
