NOTE: ECC/DEC/(22)02, also known as the AIS Class M regulation , has been implemented by a number of European countries. The significance of implementation of this regulation for existing MOB1 owners is that MOB1 beacons may no longer be used in countries that have implemented the new regulation. Click here to access a list of European countries showing where ECC/DEC/(22)02 has been implemented. It is important to note that restriction of use of the MOB1 in specific European countries is not a result of any product defects, it is instead a direct result of changes to regulations initiated by an independent regulatory body.

The best chance of rapid rescue if you fall overboard comes from your own vessel. Your crew needs to be immediately aware of the incident and keep track of your position whilst recovery is carried out. Even in the most moderate of seas it is alarming how quickly a visual sighting of a man overboard can be lost.

Once activated your MOB1 will transmit an alert to all AIS receivers and AIS enabled plotters in the vicinity. The integrated GPS ensures precise location is sent to your vessel and any others that may be assisting.

An additional feature of the MOB1, is its ability to activate the DSC alarm on your vessels VHF, alerting your crew to the situation.

The Ocean Signal rescueME MOB1 is a vital component of any maritime safety kit, engineered to provide rapid response in man overboard emergencies. Compact and lightweight, this beacon integrates seamlessly with life jackets, ensuring automatic activation upon immersion in water. Using AIS technology, it broadcasts your precise location to nearby vessels and onboard navigation systems, facilitating swift and effective rescue operations. With its robust construction, long-lasting battery, and simple deployment, the rescueME MOB1 offers peace of mind for sailors and boaters, enhancing safety on the water and potentially saving lives in critical situations.

Introducing the world’s smallest AIS MOB device with integrated DSC – the rescueME MOB1 from Ocean Signal. The MOB1 is compatible with even the most compact inflatable life-jackets.* The MOB1 is intended to be installed within the life-jacket* and will activate automatically on inflation, sending the first alert within 15 seconds. The MOB1 is waterproof to 10 metres.

The MOB1 communicates with the vessel you have been separated from and other vessels in the vicinity (up to 5 miles range dependent on conditions). To alert rescue authorities, an alternative product the rescueME PLB1 communicates directly via a dedicated search and rescue satellite network. In an emergency rescueME MOB1 provides 2 methods of rapidly communicating your position, accurate to a few metres, back to the vessel, plus providing visual indication via its built in strobe light. The integrated strobe light ensures maximum visibility in low light conditions.

Lifejacket Integration

The MOB1 can be activated manually or automatically when installed within an inflatable lifejacket (automatic). Installation is made simple using the included oral inflation tube clip to attach the MOB1 to the lifejacket, with a ribbon connected around the bladder of the lifejacket to ensure correct positioning. Once correctly installed, the action of the lifejacket inflating triggers deployment of the antenna and automatic activation of the beacon.

It is recommended to consult the lifejacket manufacturer prior to installation, as specific models may have their own preferred fitting method or integration recommendations.

Compatibility: Most modern AIS plotters and DSC VHF comply with the standards required to receive MOB transmissions. It is however, especially if you are using older equipment, recommended that you check compatibility with the equipment manufacturer. See the FAQs below for more information.

The MOB1 may be configured by the user to enter the vessels DSC MMSI number* by downloading the software at the link below. The vessel’s DSC number may be programmed multiple times.
