Ocean Signal rescueME EPIRB1 Category 2 Emergency Beacon
Ocean Signal built the rescueME EPIRB1 Category 2 Emergency Beacon for the moment a mariner hopes never comes: vessel sinking, crew overboard, or a breakdown miles offshore with no cell coverage. When activated, it transmits a 406MHz distress signal with GPS-precise location to global Cospas-Sarsat satellites, plus a 121.5MHz homing signal for nearby rescue assets.
This is core safety equipment for offshore sailors, commercial mariners, and serious blue-water cruisers. Battery life is engineered for at least 48 hours of distress transmission once activated, and the manual-deploy Category 2 housing keeps it ready without the cost or complexity of a hydrostatic auto-release setup.
Why this beacon matters
- 406MHz GPS-equipped distress transmission to Cospas-Sarsat satellites.
- 121.5MHz homing signal for local rescue asset guidance.
- Manual-deploy Category 2 mounting, ideal for grab-bag deployment.
- Multi-day battery life once activated under emergency conditions.
For anyone who takes responsibility for crew at sea, this is the emergency beacon that turns the worst day into a survivable one.
