Tron S-VDR CAPSULE is a combination between a full GMDSS EPIRB and S-VDR final storage medium (FRM).

Jotron is the first company in the world who received a full type approval on the new S-VDR float-free storage medium. Tron S-VDR CAPSULE complies with IMO`s international requirements for S-VDR systems, concerning the final recording medium.
