Who's it for? Each and every person who puts to sea, particularly leisure sailors
This new personal beacon arguably presents the best possible chance for a MOB casualty to be rescued, even if they are incapacitated.
Ocean Signal has specialized in making compact antennae and personal beacons over the last decade. And, while you'll have to forgive the barrage of acronyms, this rescueME PLB3 is very much the product many of us have been waiting for since personal MOB AIS beacons first started coming on the market.
By integrating Cospas Sarsat beacon technology, as used by global rescue services, with AIS, it has created the most powerful means of alerting others to a MOB or distress situation.
For those in VHF proximity to other vessels, the AIS MOB signal offers the most likely chance of a quick rescue. If this signal is not received by a vessel within range, then the 406MHz global satellite system will trigger a response suitable for the location.
