PIEPS PRIME IPS 26/27

The PRIME IPS is a three-antenna transceiver with PIEPS Interference Protection System for tourers. This page places it in a splitboard touring context: what it is for, where its limits sit and which equipment still belongs in the setup.

What is the PRIME IPS designed for?

A modern three-antenna transceiver is only one part of the rescue chain. A working probe and metal shovel complete the standard kit. Every tour starts with a group check, battery check and the prescribed spacing from phones, smartwatches, heated equipment and other electronics.

Clear operation under stress, a consistent group check and regular practice remain decisive. IPS does not replace spacing rules around electronics.

What is our editorial assessment?

What is included and what else do you need?

The transceiver is included; consult the current manufacturer listing for harness, batteries or charging cable. A metal shovel, probe and regular rescue practice are still required.
