Ocean Signal PLB3 Personal Locator Beacon With AIS, RLS & NFC | EPI3115
The Ocean Signal PLB3 is the world's first Personal Locator Beacon to include AIS and NFC, neither of which have been on PLBs previously. The PLB3 introduces the Automatic Identification (AIS) functionality, Return Link Service (RLS) and Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities into one, small and lightweight 406 MHz Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) which provides users with comfort in knowing that their distress message will be received and their location detected by worldwide search & rescue personnel.
The Ocean Signal PLB3 comes supplied with a bright, visible light as well as an IR strobe light, allowing for you to be visible, even in extreme weather or at night. The PLB was designed to integrate easily into almost every simple life jacket, allowing you to be safe while wearing your favourite life jacket.
