Mobilarm V100 PLB

The Mobilarm V100 PLB is now shipping and will be available from Aquatronics Marine  towards the end of June 2010.  This PLB (personal Locator Beacon) has a number of advantages over 406  PLB’s.

When the V100 is activated the signal is transmitted on the VHF band to all ships within the vicinity, this allows for an immediate response from the nearest ships crew without the need to wait for coordination from a land based receiver.

Benefits of the Mobilarm V100

• Ships crew can take action without the prior need for contact with Search and Rescue Authorities.
• All ships in the vicinity will receive DSC Mayday message.
• Multiple crew in water can be tracked with individual MMSI messages.
• In built GPS position transmitted with high accuracy down to 10 meters
• Search and Rescue can be coordinated by the ships crew immediately.

Loosing a crew member over the side is one of the most fearful experiences. The Mobilarm V100 reduces the stress of this potential event and significantly improve the chances of rapid rescue of  the  crew member.

If you are sailing short handed, racing or just cruising offshore a MobilarmV100 PLB is a wonderful safety device.
