The Ocean Signal rescueME PLB3 is a compact personal locator beacon that sends a global 406 MHz distress signal and AIS alerts to nearby vessels.
It confirms your alert has been received, uses GPS for accurate positioning, includes bright strobes for visibility, and connects to your smartphone for easy status checks—giving fast, reliable rescue when it matters most.
The Ocean Signal rescueME PLB3 is a powerful, easy-to-use personal locator beacon designed to get you help fast in an emergency. It combines a global 406 MHz distress signal with AIS alerts to nearby boats, plus Return Link Service (RLS) and smartphone connectivity, all in one compact unit. This means your distress call is sent to worldwide search and rescue authorities while also alerting vessels close to your location at the same time.
As the world’s first PLB with AIS and smartphone connection, the PLB3 lets you know your message has been received, thanks to a flashing blue light confirmation. It works on the trusted Cospas-Sarsat satellite network and uses GPS, Galileo and Glonass to pinpoint your position to within 100 metres. A 121.5 MHz homing signal then helps rescuers track you down when they arrive in the area.
The built-in AIS feature sends an emergency alert straight to AIS-equipped boats within VHF range, showing your position clearly on their screens to speed up rescue. Bright white and infrared strobes also make it easier to spot you at night or in poor visibility.
You can check battery life, test history and status through the free Ocean Signal app using NFC simply by holding your smartphone near the beacon.
The PLB3 can be fitted inside an inflatable lifejacket for automatic activation when it inflates, or clipped externally using the supplied webbing clip, giving you simple, reliable peace of mind when it matters most.
