Discover the Life-Saving Beacon
When someone goes overboard, every second counts. Introducing the 2886 AISLink Man Overboard Beacon - your ally in distress, equipped to send an instantaneous alert. With the Automatic Identification System (AIS) integrated, it's not just a beacon, but a life-saving device ensuring your cry for help is heard loud and clear.
Dive Deep Into The Tech
Equipped with an integrated Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and GPS technology, the AISLink ensures a swift response. Unlike ordinary beacons, it doesn't just signal the satellites but sends an immediate alert to nearby vessels with an AIS receiver or AIS-enabled plotter. Moreover, the DSC alarm on your vessel's VHF radio gets triggered to alert the first responders. And guess what? If you fall overboard and your lifejacket inflates, the AISLink MOB auto-activates, sending an alert within the first 15 seconds, signaling every vessel up to a 5-mile radius.
Standing Strong in Dire Situations
Constructed with high-impact housing, it's designed to withstand a 20m drop into the water. With the power-packed lithium metal batteries, expect over 24 hours of relentless operation. As for compatibility, most modern AIS plotters and DSC VHF units can easily sync with this beacon. But, ensure you cross-check with your equipment manufacturer for absolute compatibility. And programming? It's a breeze with the user-friendly downloadable software or the web platform.
