Ocean Signal RescueMe MOB2 - The latest version of Ocean Signal's world-leading AIS Personal Beacon with Class M approval and many new and exciting features
Introducing the world’s smallest AIS Man Overboard (MOB) device with integrated VHF DSC – the rescueME MOB2 AIS from Ocean Signal. This vital component of any maritime safety kit is designed for rapid response in man-overboard emergencies. Compact and lightweight, the MOB2 integrates seamlessly with even the most compact inflatable lifejackets, ensuring automatic activation upon inflation.
The MOB2 sends the first alert within 15 seconds, broadcasting your precise location using AIS technology to nearby vessels and onboard navigation systems. It communicates with the vessel you’ve been separated from and other vessels up to 5 miles away, depending on conditions. Additionally, nearby vessels are instantly notified of the man-overboard situation through DSC technology.
In an emergency, the rescueME MOB2 AIS provides two methods of rapidly communicating your position, accurate to a few meters, and offers visual indication via its built-in strobe lights. Its integrated dual Infrared (IR) and White strobe lights ensure maximum visibility in low-light conditions, providing peace of mind for sailors and boaters by enhancing safety on the water and potentially saving lives in critical situations. Waterproof to 10 meters, the MOB2 features a robust construction and a long-lasting battery.
Smartphone Connectivity utilising Near Field Communication (NFC)
The integration of NFC technology provides users with the ability to conveniently program the MOB2 MMSI and access beacon data from their mobile phone. The simple act of placing a phone near the beacon automatically opens the Ocean Signal Product App and provides access to a variety of usage data including current battery life, number of self-tests completed, number of GNSS tests completed, and if applicable, the amount of time the beacon has been activated.
Class M Approved AIS Man Overboard Beacon with VHF DSC
Engineered to exceed Class M requirements, the MOB2 is Compliant with regulation ECC/DEC/(22)02 regarding the use of MOB devices.
Lifejacket Integration
The MOB2 can be activated manually or automatically when installed within an inflatable lifejacket (automatic). Installation is made simple using the included oral inflation tube clip to attach the MOB2 to the lifejacket with a ribbon connected around the bladder of the lifejacket. Once correctly installed, the action of the lifejacket inflating triggers the deployment of the antenna and activation of the beacon.

Ocean Signal rescueME MOB2 AIS Personal Beacon - Class M FAQs
What is the Ocean Signal rescueME MOB2?
The rescueME MOB2 is a compact AIS Man Overboard (MOB) beacon designed to help locate a person who has fallen overboard. It transmits your position via AIS and sends a DSC distress alert to compatible VHF radios, helping nearby vessels and your own crew locate you quickly.
How does the rescueME MOB2 work in an emergency?
When activated, the MOB2 uses GPS and Galileo satellite positioning to determine your location. It then transmits your position via AIS and sends a DSC distress message, allowing AIS-equipped vessels and compatible VHF radios to receive an alert and track your location.
Does the RescueME MOB2 activate automatically?
Yes. When properly installed inside a compatible inflatable lifejacket, the MOB2 can automatically activate when the lifejacket inflates. It can also be activated manually if required.
Is the RescueME MOB2 approved under the latest Class M regulations?
Yes. The rescueME MOB2 is fully compliant with ECC/DEC/(22)02 Class M regulations, making it suitable for many offshore sailing events and safety requirements throughout the UK and Europe.
What is the range of the RescueME MOB2?
The beacon can typically communicate with nearby AIS-equipped vessels up to approximately 5 miles away, depending on antenna height, sea state, weather conditions, and surrounding obstacles.
Does the Ocean Signal MOB2 require a subscription?
No. The Ocean Signal rescueME MOB2 is a one-time purchase and does not require any ongoing subscription fees or service plans.
How long does the battery last?
The MOB2 features a battery life of up to 5 years in standby mode and provides at least 24 hours of operational transmission once activated in an emergency.
Can I connect the MOB2 to my smartphone?

Is the rescueME MOB2 waterproof?
Yes. The MOB2 is waterproof to a depth of 10 metres and is specifically designed to withstand harsh marine environments and emergency situations at sea.
What is the difference between Ocean Signal RescuMe MOB1 beacon and the Rescueme MOB2
An AIS MOB beacon like the rescueME MOB2 alerts nearby vessels and your own boat using AIS and DSC technology, helping with rapid local recovery. A PLB communicates with global search and rescue satellite networks, making it more suitable for remote offshore emergencies where no nearby vessels are present.
The main difference between the Ocean Signal MOB1 and MOB2 is that the MOB2 was redesigned to comply with the latest European Class M AIS MOB regulations and adds several new safety and usability features.
