Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 Personal Locator Beacon

Wherever your adventures take you — at sea, on land, or off the grid — the Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 ensures that help is just one button press away. Compact, lightweight, and incredibly reliable, this personal locator beacon connects you directly to global emergency services through the Cospas-Sarsat satellite network, with no subscription or usage fees.

Designed for simplicity and peace of mind, the rescueME PLB1 can be operated with one hand — even in the toughest conditions.

How It Works

When activated, the rescueME PLB1 transmits your GPS location and unique ID to a Rescue Coordination Centre via satellite. Local rescue services are immediately notified and updated with your position, ensuring the fastest possible response time.

Registration is simple — contact your national registration authority (online, by post, or email) and provide your 15-digit HEX ID (UIN) along with your contact and emergency details. This ensures your beacon is linked to your personal information in the International Beacon Registration Database (IBRD) for an efficient rescue response.
