Category 2 EPIRB with RLS and NFC Mobile Connectivity

The Ocean Signal rescueME EPIRB2 Category II manual release EPIRB gives fisherman and cruisers an added sense of security each and every time they’re out on the water.

Ocean Signal engineered the EPIRB2 Cat II EPIRB with RLS and NFC with the requirements and demands of a serious boater in mind. The 72 Channel internal GPS receiver will acquire satellites quicker from a cold start and send your position to the emergency responders via the 406 MHz distress signal frequency as well as the 121.5 MHz homing beacon signal that will bring rescue personnel directly to your location. This makes it less expensive and quicker for the mariner to have a Category 2 EPIRB that is ready to work when you need it most!

Return Link Service (RLS) provides a visual confirmation that a distress signal has been received with a 121.5 MHz homing signal along with visible infrared strobe lights for easy target identification at night or in poor visibility situations. Rest assured that your signal has been received and help is on the way with the Blue LED Indicator Light on the top of the device.

With Near Field Communication (NFC) within one EPIRB, the rescueME EPIRB2 effectively pairs global and local rescue teams capitalizing on available rescue resources virtually anywhere in the world. NFC technology gives access to EPIRB diagnostics using your personal smartphone. When a smartphone is placed adjacent to the EPIRB, an Ocean Signal Product App automatically opens to view the beacon status information I.E., battery life, number of self-tests completed, number of GNSS tests performed, and the length of time your EPIRB has been activated. The GNSS testing can show a map view through the smartphone app pinpointing where a previous test was performed, with time and date information, how long it took your EPIRB to get a fix, and much more.

Included with every Epirb2 device is a Category II manual release mounting bracket that securely stores this device for long or short trips and for the harsh marine environments you may encounter along the way. A quick release feature allows this device to quickly and easily be removed when needed. Equally suited for both powerboats and sailboats, the EPIRB Two is slim in design and has a contoured profile. Perfect for recreational or commercial users alike, a variety of high-tech features make the rescueME EPIRB2 for work or play near shore or offshore.
