The very nature of our illumination technology demonstrates what we consider to be advancements in P.A.S.S. device technology. Although non-audible, the illumination generated by the GLO-JO™ PAL™ serve as a practical means of ensuring orientation of personnel. Our device facilitates increased visibility allowing one’s position to be located at various distances within smoke challenged environments. The visual attributes of this device offers what we call, Enhanced Positional Awareness©.
