Ocean Signal rescueME MOB1 AIS MOB Beacon

Meet the Ocean Signal rescueME MOB1 AIS MOB Beacon — the world’s smallest AIS MOB device with integrated DSC, engineered to stay with you when seconds matter. Sleek enough to fit inside even compact inflatable life-jackets, the MOB1 activates automatically on inflation and sends your distress alert within 15 seconds, giving rescuers a precise starting point as quickly as possible.

Designed for reliability in challenging conditions, the MOB1 combines a high-visibility built-in strobe with precise GPS positioning and two fast communication methods to speed your rescue. It transmits to nearby AIS receivers and AIS-enabled plotters within range (up to about 5 miles, depending on conditions), and it can also trigger a DSC alarm on your vessel’s VHF, ensuring your crew is alerted and your position is monitored as recovery begins.

Key features:

• World’s smallest AIS MOB with integrated DSC — 30% smaller than competing devices, making deployment effortless in any life-jacket design.
• Automatic activation on inflation — first alert issued within 15 seconds to boost chances of rapid rescue.
• Integrated strobe light — maximum visibility in low-light or rough-sea conditions.
• GPS-based positioning — accurate location shared with your vessel and nearby responders.
• Two rapid alert channels — AIS transmission to nearby vessels/plotters and DSC alarm on your VHF radio.
• Long lifespan — up to 7 years of battery life and 24+ hours of operational life, backed by a 5-year warranty.
• Vessel compatibility — works with most modern AIS plotters and DSC VHF; check compatibility with older equipment if needed, and easily configure the MMSI via optional software to suit your vessel.

In an emergency, every second counts. The rescueME MOB1 is designed to give rescuers the best possible information with minimal setup, helping your crew maintain awareness of your position while you’re recovered. It’s waterproof to 10 meters and built to withstand harsh marine environments, with a wide operational temperature range of -20°C to +55°C and storage range of -30°C to +70°C. The MOB1 complies with RTCM SC11901 and EN303 098-1 standards for reliable performance when it matters most.

Note: For satellite-based rescue capability, Ocean Signal offers the rescueME PLB1 as a complementary solution. The MOB1’s design focuses on rapid, local coordination via AIS and DSC to maximize the chances of a fast on-scene recovery.
