Ocean Signal PLB3 (AIS+RLS)
660.00 €
The Ocean Signal PLB3 personal locator beacon combines 406 MHz, 121.5 MHz and AIS distress messaging in one PLB. By combining the individual technologies for making emergency calls, the chances of a quick rescue are significantly increased. Using the wireless NFC connection, you can access activity history, battery status programming information of the PLB3 using an app.

Description
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 rescueME PLB3 represents a significant step forward in the evolution of PLB’s. The merging of 406 MHz and AIS distress messaging effectively pairs both global and local rescue, thereby maximizing 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.
