» Ocean Signal rescueME PLB3
Ocean Signal is upping the game in maritime safety and is fresh off a “Overall DAME Design Award 2022” win for its rescueME PLB3 AIS Personal Locator Beacon (PLB). 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 PLBs. 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 RLS feature which provides the comfort of knowing that a distress message has been received and their location detected by worldwide search and rescue personnel.
