ocean SIGNAL ResQLink AIS Personal Locator Beacon with AIS Man Overboard
INTRODUCTION
Combining the global response of the 406MHz Cospas-Sarsat Satellite rescue
services with the transmission of AIS Man Overboard signals to alert vessels
equipped with AIS receivers within VHF radio range and a 121.5MHz RDF signal
to guide emergency services directly to your location.
Designed to install within a Life Jacket allowing semi-automatic activation in
the event you fall overboard, the ResQLink AIS offers the most comprehensive
communication set to ensure a rapid response and rescue.
Integrated AIS Man Overboard Alert
406 MHz & 121.5 MHz Signals
Built-in LED and IR Strobe Array

PERSONAL LOCATOR BEACON WITH AIS MAN OVERBOARD
Pairing Global and Local Rescue
As long as AIS Man Overboard devices and Cospas-Sarsat Personal Locator Beacons have been in use the question has been asked: When can we have both in one package? With multi levels of integrated signal technology – GNSS positioning, powerful 406 MHz signal, and AIS transmission – the ResQLink AIS uses AIS technology to alert all vessels within VHF range by sounding alarms and indicating a MOB position to people in the best position to offer immediate aid, while at the same time quickly and accurately relaying your position to a worldwide network of search and rescue satellites. Additionally, a built-in visible strobe and infrared strobe facilitate nighttime, or other low visibility, rescues.
When installed in a compatible life jacket the ResQLink AIS will activate upon inflation of the jacket initiating the call for assistance even if a casualty entering the water may be incapacitated.
Whether the ResQLink AIS is installed in a life jacket or carried on a user’s person, innovative design elements and multifunction clips can be used in conjunction with the beacon, providing numerous wear-ability options that address a variety of usage applications.
