The radio beacon and flash beacon are the individual components in the past, the radio beacon just transmit sound signals but can’t to provide location. Authoring successfully integrate radio modules, GPS modules and flash module in a small cylindrical water tight chamber, would continuous operation more than 72 hours by using battery-operated.
