Introducing the world’s smallest AIS MOB device with integrated DSC – the rescueME MOB1 from Ocean Signal. The MOB1 is compatible with even
the most compact inflatable lifejackets.
The MOB1 is intended to be installed within the lifejacket and will activate automatically on inflation, sending the fi rst alert within 15 seconds.
The integrated strobe light ensures maximum visibility in low light conditions.
The MOB1 communicates with the vessel you have been separated from and other vessels in the vicinity (up to 5 miles range dependent on
conditions). To alert rescue authorities, an alternative product the rescueME PLB1 communicates directly via a dedicated search and rescue satellite
network.
In an emergency rescueME MOB1 provides 2 methods of rapidly communicating your position, accurate to a few metres, back to the vessel, plus
providing visual indication via its built in strobe light.
The best chance of rapid rescue if you fall overboard comes from your own vessel. Your crew needs to be immediately aware of the incident and
keep track of your position whilst recovery is carried out. Even in the most moderate of seas it is alarming how quickly a visual sighting of a man
overboard can be lost.
Once activated your MOB1 will transmit an alert to all AIS receivers and AIS enabled plotters in the
vicinity. The integrated GPS ensures precise location is sent to your vessel and any others that may be
assisting.
An additional feature of the MOB1, is its ability to activate the DSC alarm on your vessels VHF, alerting
your crew to the situation.
Compatibility: Most modern AIS plotters and DSC VHF comply with the standards required to receive
MOB transmissions. It is however, especially if you are using older equipment, recommended that you
check compatibility with the equipment manufacturer. See the FAQs
