The Ocean Signal EPIRB3 is a Category 2 EPIRB with AIS, RLS and NFC Mobile Connectivity
The new Ocean Signal EPIRB3 is a fully featured 406MHz global rescue beacon that comes with a manual release bracket. The EPIRB3 comes with a lot of features in a compact modern design, which includes AIS technology that provides local rescuers with accurate and reliable information about the location of the emergency, thereby speeding up rescue.
In addition, the Return Link Service (RLS) provides those who activate the EPIRB with confirmation that their emergency message has been received. The Near Field Communication (NFC) feature allows a smartphone app to be used to monitor the EPIRB's battery and other functions to ensure , that it functions correctly.
The compact design and advanced features make the EPIRB3 ideal for mariners, whether they are sailing offshore, fishing or working.
