Step up your on-water safety
With the introduction of Automatic Identification System (AIS) functionality, Return Link Service (RLS) technology and Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities in one 406 MHz Personal Locator Beacon (PLB), the new Ocean Signal rescueME PLB3 represents a significant step forward in the evolution of PLBs. The merging of 406 MHz and AIS distress messaging effectively pairs both global and local rescue, thereby maximising access to the most effective rescue resources available. In addition, NFC capability provides users with the world's first smartphone connected PLB and the all-new Return Link Service feature provides users with the comfort in knowing that their distress message has been received and their location detected by worldwide Search and Rescue personnel.
As the world's first PLB with AIS and the world's first PLB to include NFC and mobile app, there's no need to justify why the PLB3 should be your first choice.
Life Jacket Integration
The PLB3 is designed to install within a life jacket and activate upon inflation of the jacket (semi-automatic). Installation is made simple using the included oral inflation tube clip to attach the PLB3 to the life jacket with a ribbon connected around the bladder of the life jacket. Once correctly installed, the action of the life jacket inflating triggers deployment of the antenna and activation of the beacon. It's recommended to consult the lifejacket manufacturer prior to installation, as specific models may have their own preferred fitting method or integration recommendations. Users not wishing to install the PLB3 within a life jacket have the option to utilise the included webbing clip to attach the beacon to an appropriately sized belt or the webbing of an inherently buoyant life jacket.
