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 life-jackets. The MOB1 is intended
to be installed within the life-jacket and will activate automatically on
inflation, sending the first 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
MOB1 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 below for more information.
