ocean SIGNAL PLB3 Personal Locator Beacon with AIS
INTRODUCTION
The best of both worlds… …the PLB3 combines 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 PLB3 offers the most comprehensive communication set to ensure a rapid response and rescue.
- Galileo Return Link Service Capable
- 406 MHz & 121.5 MHz Signals
- Integrated AIS Man Overboard Alert
- Visible Light and IR Strobe

Your worldwide link to emergency services
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 rescueME PLB3 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 PLB3 will activate upon inflation of the jacket initiating the call for assistance even if a casualty entering the water may be incapacitated.
Whether the PLB3 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.
