Introducing the world's smallest AIS MOB device with integrated DSC: Ocean Signal's rescueME MOB1. The MOB1 is compatible with even the most compact inflatable life jackets.

The MOB1 is designed to be installed inside the lifejacket and will automatically activate on inflation, sending the first alert in 15 seconds. The MOB1 is waterpoof to 10 meters.

The integrated strobe light ensures maximum visibility in low light conditions.

The MOB1 communicates with the vessel it has been separated from and other nearby vessels (range up to 5 miles depending on conditions). To alert rescue authorities, an alternative product that rescueME PLB1 communicates directly via a dedicated search and rescue satellite network.

In an emergency rescue, the MOB1 provides 2 methods to quickly communicate your position, accurate to within a few meters, back to the ship, as well as providing a visual indication via its built-in strobe light.

The best chance of a speedy rescue if you fall overboard comes from your own boat. Your crew should be immediately aware of the incident and keep track of your position while the recovery takes place. Even in the most moderate seas, it is alarming how quickly a visual sight of a man overboard can be lost.

Once activated, your MOB1 will broadcast an alert to all AIS receivers and AIS-enabled chartplotters in the vicinity. The integrated GPS ensures that the precise location is sent to your vessel and any others you may be assisting.

An additional feature of the MOB1, is its ability to activate the DSC alarm on your VHF vessels, alerting your crew to the situation.

Compatibility: Most modern AIS and DSC VHF chartplotters meet the standards required to receive MOB transmissions. However, especially if you are using an older computer, it is recommended that you check with your computer manufacturer for compatibility.

The user can configure the MOB1 to enter the DSC MMSI number of the vessels * by downloading the software in the following link. The vessel's DSC number can be programmed multiple times.
