 ===== Satellite Trackers =====
-Also known as PLBs((Personal Locator Beacons)), these devices communicate with satellites to give emergency-only communication anywhere in the world.((Some only work in North America or Europe)). They can typically be tracked from a website, which is nice for letting friends and family keep track of where you are, and have an "SOS" function that will alert a central monitoring center who will alert local authorities. More expensive models have the ability to send 160-charecter text messages.
