Ocean Signal EPIRB3 with AIS & NFC
The new Ocean Signal EPIRB3
A full-featured 406 MHz global rescue beacon that comes with a manual release bracket and packs a host of features into a compact modern design that includes AIS EPIRB technology. AIS provides local rescuers with precise and reliable information on the current beacon position, thereby speeding rescue operations. Additionally, Return Link Service (RLS) comforts those who activate the beacon by confirming that their distress message has been received. The inclusion of Near Field Communication (NFC) capability allows use of a smartphone app to monitor the EPIRB’s battery and other functions ensuring it is working properly. With its slim design and advanced features, the EPIRB3 is ideal for a variety of mariners whether they are cruising the med, heading out through the straights for a passage, fishing, working, or sailing offshore.
