MRT Alert Man Overboard AIS/DSC Device

The sMRT ALERT AIS DSC MOB combines AIS and VHF DSC technologies in a compact unit, featuring water-activated alerts, audible and visual signalling, and easy life jacket integration, setting a new standard for marine safety.

The sMRT ALERT AIS DSC MOB is an innovative man-overboard device that features AIS and VHF DSC technologies in a sleek, compact design. Engineered with precision, this device priorities user-friendliness without sacrificing functionality or reliability and is ready for immediate use.

A standout feature of the sMRT ALERT is its water activation technology. Designed to activate upon immersion, this feature ensures the device automatically sends a distress alert and location when you enter the water. Alongside manual activation, it offers peace of mind knowing the beacon will work even if you're unable to activate it or if your life jacket malfunctions.

Understanding the importance of comfort and convenience, the device is adaptable to various life jacket styles with multiple fixing options. This versatility allows users to simply integrate the sMRT ALERT into their life jacket without the need for complex fitting instructions, promoting safety without compromising comfort or mobility.

Additionally, the sMRT ALERT comes equipped with an internal DSC receiver, enabling it to receive and display DSC acknowledgements. Compliant with the 2024 ECC Class M requirements for Man Overboard devices, it ensures adherence to industry standards and future readiness.

Compatible with the sMRT Beacon Management mobile app, users can easily conduct product health checks, monitor device status in real-time, and maintain a record of test history. Serving as a digital dashboard, the app provides valuable insights, ensuring the device always operates at peak performance.

In summary, whether you're a seasoned sailor or a novice mariner, the intuitive design of the sMRT ALERT ensures effective and confident deployment in emergency situations.
