The new Ocean Signal EPIRB3-PRO is a fully featured 406MHz global rescue beacon that comes with auto-release "Float-Free" container.
The EPIRB3-PRO comes with a lot of features in a compact modern design, which includes AIS technology, which provides local rescuers with accurate and reliable information about the position of the emergency and thereby speeds up rescue.
In addition, the Return Link Service (RLS) provides those who activate the EPIRB with confirmation that their distress 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 it is working properly.
The compact design and advanced functions make the EPIRB3 ideal for all types of mariners, whether they are sailing offshore, fishing or working.
