<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.

Product Details

The Ocean Signal rescueME EPIRB3 is a full-featured 406 MHz global rescue beacon designed for mariners who demand reliability and advanced technology in an emergency. This Category 2 EPIRB combines satellite distress signaling with integrated AIS (Automatic Identification System) technology to provide both global satellite coverage and local rescue coordination, significantly improving response times in distress situations.

Advanced Communication Technology:

When activated, the EPIRB3 transmits a 406 MHz distress signal to the Cospas-Sarsat satellite network (MEOSAR compatible) along with your GPS position. Simultaneously, it broadcasts an AIS alert that nearby vessels equipped with AIS receivers can detect, providing local rescuers with precise real-time position data. The Return Link Service (RLS) feature provides confirmation that your distress message has been received by rescue authorities, offering peace of mind during critical situations. A 121.5 MHz homing signal aids final rescue approach.

Smart Monitoring with NFC:

Near Field Communication (NFC) technology allows you to use the free Ocean Signal Beacon Mobile App on your smartphone to monitor battery status, check GPS functionality, and verify the beacon is ready for use—all without requiring a subscription or breaking any seals. The beacon uses a lithium battery with a 10-year replacement interval.
