Ocean Signal RescueME MOB2 Man Overboard AIS Beacon

The RescueME MOB2 is the world’s smallest AIS Man Overboard (MOB) device with built-in VHF DSC. It’s compact, powerful and packed with life-saving features. Designed to alert your vessel and nearby boats within seconds, the MOB2 helps ensure the fastest possible recovery when someone goes overboard.

Perfect for fitting inside inflatable lifejackets, the MOB2 offers automatic activation, GPS positioning and smart mobile app connectivity – giving you and your crew peace of mind on every voyage.

Key Features

• AIS and VHF DSC Alerts - Sends a distress signal via AIS to onboard plotters and other nearby vessels. Also transmits a VHF DSC alert to compatible radios.
• Fast Activation & Precise Location - Sends your first emergency message within 15 seconds. Provides accurate GPS positioning thanks to its built-in GNSS receiver (GPS and Galileo).
• Smallest MOB Beacon Available - 50% smaller than similar products on the market. Fits neatly inside most inflatable lifejackets for automatic activation.
• Integrated NFC for Mobile App Connectivity - Use the Ocean Signal app to check battery life, view test history and update MMSI settings via NFC on iOS or Android smartphones.
• Bright Dual Strobe Lights - Features both IR and white LED strobe lights to increase visibility in low light or rough conditions.

How It Works

Instant Alerts That Help Speed Up Rescue

When activated, the MOB2 transmits your exact location using AIS technology. This data can be picked up by your own vessel and any others within a range of up to 5 miles, depending on sea conditions. It also uses VHF DSC to send alerts directly to compatible radios on board your boat and surrounding vessels.

This dual-alert system increases the chances of a rapid response and successful recovery.

Designed for Inflatable Lifejackets

The MOB2 can be activated manually, or automatically when installed inside an inflatable lifejacket. Installation is simple and uses the included oral inflation tube clip. Once fitted, the beacon activates as the lifejacket inflates, deploying the antenna and beginning transmission immediately.

Smartphone Connectivity via NFC

The MOB2 includes Near Field Communication (NFC) to connect with the Ocean Signal mobile app. Simply hold your phone close to the beacon to:

• Check current battery life
• View self-test and GNSS test history
• Access device activation history
• Set or update your MMSI
