His emergency satellite beacon, which sends a single [sic] to a private company that hosts the service, started at 6:48 a.m. Wednesday and stopped an hour later after sending 14 transmissions.

The “single” being sent to a private company also makes it sound like it is a SPOT Satellite Messenger instead of a true PLB. It also appears proofreading is not a high priority of the news these days.
