Ocean Signal

<h3>Ocean Signal: Engineered for When It Matters Most</h3><p>When an emergency strikes at sea, the equipment on board can mean the difference between life and death. <strong>Ocean Signal</strong> is a globally recognized manufacturer of electronic marine safety devices, specializing in the technology that connects distressed mariners to search and rescue services anywhere on the planet. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Margate, England, the brand has built its reputation on a single, unwavering principle: reliable, accurate distress signaling when it counts most.</p><p>Ocean Signal's core expertise lies in <a href="/11545-ocean-signal-epirbslocating-beacons-201934">EPIRBs and locating beacons</a> — devices that transmit emergency distress signals via the international Cospas-Sarsat satellite network to rescue coordination centers around the world. Their flagship rescueME product line spans Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs), Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs), Man Overboard (MOB) beacons, AIS (Automatic Identification System) devices, and Search and Rescue Transponders (SARTs). Whether you are an offshore racing sailor, a commercial fisherman, or a weekend cruiser, Ocean Signal offers a safety solution scaled to your needs.</p><p>What sets Ocean Signal apart in the crowded marine safety market is its commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology in compact, user-friendly form factors. Their next-generation EPIRB3, for example, combines Cospas-Sarsat 406 MHz satellite connectivity with integrated AIS and Return Link Service (RLS) — providing both global distress alerting and real-time confirmation that a signal has been received, all in one unit. The rescueME PLB line is among the most compact on the market while still delivering full GPS-enabled positioning and 24+ hours of transmission time.</p><p>In 2015, Ocean Signal was acquired by ACR Electronics, a Florida-based industry leader in survival technology. This union brought together two elite engineering teams and further strengthened Ocean Signal's capacity for product innovation — while maintaining the brand's distinctly British engineering identity. Today, Ocean Signal devices are internationally approved, IMO/SOLAS compliant where applicable, and trusted by professional mariners, lifeboat crews, and adventurers worldwide.</p><p>Explore Ocean Signal's range of <a href="/11545-ocean-signal-epirbslocating-beacons-200377">emergency locating beacons</a> and find the right device for your vessel and voyage. From manual Category II EPIRBs for coastal passages to automatic float-free Category I units for offshore blue-water sailing, the rescueME lineup offers proven protection across every type of maritime adventure.</p><h3>Why Choose Ocean Signal?</h3><ul><li>Trusted globally by professional mariners, lifeboat crews, and offshore adventurers</li><li>Devices use multi-constellation GNSS for fast, highly accurate position fixes</li><li>Latest models feature AIS and Return Link Service for layered, real-time emergency response</li><li>Compact, waterproof, and impact-resistant construction built for harsh marine environments</li><li>IMO/SOLAS compliant EPIRBs with no subscription fees required</li><li>Extended warranty available through product registration</li></ul>

Product Details

The Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 is an ultra-compact personal locator beacon designed to summon global emergency services at the press of a button. With its remarkably small footprint of just 2" x 3" x 1 5/16", this PLB is small enough to carry on every adventure, whether at sea or on land.

Simple One-Hand Operation

Engineered for ease of use in emergency situations, the rescueME PLB1 features a spring-loaded protective flap covering the activation button to prevent accidental deployment. Once activated, the device transmits your precise position and unique ID to a Rescue Coordination Center via the Cospas-Sarsat satellite network, enabling search and rescue teams to locate you quickly.

Triple Alert System

  • 406 MHz satellite transmission to emergency services worldwide
  • 121.5 MHz homing beacon for local search and rescue teams
  • High-intensity strobe light (>1 candela) for visual location

Key Features:

  • 66-channel GPS receiver for accurate position reporting
  • Retractable antenna for easy deployment
  • 7-year battery life with 24+ hours operational time
  • Waterproof to 15 meters (approximately 50 feet)
  • Unique mounting clip and included flotation pouch
  • No subscription fees - operates on government-funded Cospas-Sarsat network
  • 7-year manufacturer warranty

Compact enough to fit in a life jacket pocket or attach to your belt, the rescueME PLB1 provides reliable emergency communication without the bulk of traditional personal locator beacons. The device transmits on both 406 MHz for satellite detection and 121.5 MHz for local homing, ensuring rescuers can pinpoint your location from initial alert through final approach.
