What Makes Ocean Signal RescueME Mob1 so Easy to Carry?
The Ocean Signal rescueME MOB1 is the world’s smallest AIS MOB (Man Overboard) device with built-in DSC (Digital Selective Calling), measuring in at 13.4cm long. In an emergency at sea, the MOB1 can transmit your location to any AIS-equipped vessel with a 5-mile radius. Simply attach it to a lifejacket and, when the lifejacket is inflated, the device becomes active, pinging the wearer’s location regularly for 24 hours. Equipping yourself with a MOB1 means you will be carrying one of the market’s best personal locator devices.

that may be assisting.
