The PLB3 Ocean Signal is a personal locator beacon with AIS, EPIRB and NFC. This Ocean Signal beacon can accompany you in all your nautical activities , such as fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, water-skiing, kite-surfing, stand-up paddling, etc...

The PLB3 Ocean Signal features Automatic Identification System (AIS) functionality, Return Link Service (RLS) technology and Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities in a 406 MHz personal locator beacon. This optimizes global and local rescue by significantly improving access to the most effective rescue resources available.

OCEAN SIGNAL - PLB3 PERSONAL BEACON - FOR PRECISE LOCATION

Wherever you are, the Ocean Signal PLB3 personal beacon will ensure that emergency and rescue services worldwide receive your distress call. It can be fitted to a lifejacket, which automatically triggers the distress signal by deploying the antenna when the jacket is inflated. Thanks to the included strap clip, you can also place this Ocean Signal PLB3 personal distress beacon on your belt.

In any case, the Ocean Signal PLB3 can be activated with just one hand, even in extreme emergency situations.

⚠️ Even though this PLB3 beacon is waterproof, it must be above water, pointing skywards with the antenna extended, to function properly. This Ocean Signal PLB3 personal locator will not work if submerged in water.


	LOCAL & WORLDWIDE RESCUE SYSTEMS The Ocean Signal PLB3 integrates the worldwide Cospas Sarsat satellite system. It enables your 406 MHz distress signal to reach the international search and rescue network immediately, with positional accuracy to within 100m. Integrating several signaling technologies, 406 MHz positioning and GNSS (GPS, Galileo, Glonass), this PLB3 distress beacon also transmits a 121.5 MHz localization signal, enabling rescue teams to be guided precisely and in real time to the current location of the PLB3 beacon (whose position may have changed when the distress signal was first sent). Last but not least, it features AIS transmissions to simultaneously alert all boats (within range) equipped with AIS devices . As soon as the Ocean Signal PLB3 distress beacon is deployed, an AIS message or MOB alarm (with MMSI identity) is transmitted, and an AIS target is displayed on all AIS screens of nearby vessels.

RETURN LINK SERVICE (RLS) The PLB3 Ocean Signal personal distress beacon also incorporates return link service (RLS) technology. This means that search and rescue services confirm via the Galileo satellite network that the distress message has been received and the position detected. The shipwrecked person is then informed by a flashing blue light on the PLB3 beacon that his distress signal has been confirmed, taken into account and that help is on its way. This PLB3 Ocean Signal distress beacon also provides rescuers with visual assistance, producing both a white and infrared strobe light. This is particularly useful when searching at night or in poor visibility .

	NFC CONNECTIVITY The Ocean Sigal PBL3 beacon also features NFC functionality, enabling it to connect to a smartphone. In addition to the fact that the castaway can see that his distress signal has been taken into account by a rescue center, with the EPIRB function he can also access various information from his beacon. Once the Ocean Signal application (available on IOS and Android) has been installed, simply hold your phone up to the beacon and the application will open. It provides a wealth of information: Usage data Settings information Battery status (life) It also shows the number of self-tests & GNSS tests carried out and passed: Geolocation of tests on a map Date and time of tests Time taken for the beacon to obtain a GNSS position Number of satellites used by the beacon Location accuracy Warning: only works with an NFC (Near Field Communication) compatible smartphone
