easy2-MOB Emergency Beacon with AIS & DSC

A small and compact AIS/DSC emergency beacon that can be used with many automatic life jackets without any special preparation and takes AIS MOB to the next level.

In the event of a man overboard situation, easy2-MOB automatically activates itself upon contact with water and immediately begins to send emergency signals to a group of up to 8 ships, including the mother ship in a closed loop. These MMSI numbers can be programmed via a Bluetooth connection from a smartphone with the free Weatherdock app. The first transmission to these ships takes place a matter of seconds after activation. Since the position is yet to be determined, the unit ID of the AIS MOB is sent first.

The immediate alarm is intended to sensitize the closed loop vessels to the impending dangerous situation. As soon as a position is determined, it is sent again to these ships. If the group does not confirm the closed loop distress call within 10 minutes, easy2-MOB automatically switched to open loop distress call and sends an emergency signal to all ships. This signal can (for example) also be picked up and forwarded by commercial shipping. In this way, the emergency call can reach a coast station and trigger a rescue scenario there.

An AIS emergency message is sent after the position has been succesfully determined. This can be received by any ship with AIS on board within a radius of 7 nautical miles around the casualty. The transmitted position data is updated every minute and transmitted together with information on course and speed over the ground.

To fit the AIS MOB, simply open the life jacket a little and then push the unit upside down between the folded bladder. The safety line is attached inside (for example) to an existing ring with a knot. To activate the automatic activation, the yellow slider has to be moved from 'disarmed' into the 'armed' position at the left side.
