„Not being the first time I have a Garmin Inreach, I bought this one after the previous one was stolen and I am extremely satisfied because it is really very small allowing to have it in a pocket and at the same time, with the access via Bluetooth we can have all the features on the phone. I consider it much more important than a MOB because while these have a 24 mile range, the Garmin is a personal Epirb with satellite connection. Just press the SOS button and a message is sent with our location. The SMS service is fantastic for communications with land that we can use for weather routing or just to let you know that everything is ok on board. A must have for anyone who is at sea.“

AIS MOB

AIS S.A.R.T

Satellite Communication

In the event of an emergency at sea, you can request immediate assistance if you carry a marine emergency buoy, such as EPIRB, PLB or AIS MOB equipment. EPIRB stands for Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon, these devices send a satellite-based alarm signal to a central control centre. EPIRBs are also known as Emergency Radio Beacons or Marine Distress Beacons and are suitable for worldwide use. AIS MOB / SART transmitters are a good addition to radio equipment for use in coastal or inland waterways. Learn more about Distress Beacons...

Distress beacons for boats

- Satellite-based alarm signal in an emergency -

PLB

PLB stands for Personal Locator Beacon. these devices are registered to the person, not the boat. Registration must be made in the country where you are resident.

AIS MOB / AIS SART

AIS MOB / SART devices are best suited for use in coastal or inshore waters. These AIS MOB transmitters send an AIS emergency signal, which can be received by surrounding ships equipped with an AIS receiver. Because they use VHF frequencies, their range depends on the antenna height. We therefore recommend an AIS MOB transmitter in addition to your EPIRB.
