Unlike previous-generation models, it combines global coverage from the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system with local AIS alerts, maximizing the chances of rapid rescue by nearby vessels. Designed for the harshest marine environments, this beacon ensures redundant and highly reliable transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTriple communication and positioning technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an emergency, the EPIRB3 transmits a powerful 12 W signal on the 406.031 MHz frequency to alert international rescue centers. Simultaneously, it emits an AIS signal (1 W on 161.975 and 162.025 MHz) visible to all vessels equipped with AIS receivers within VHF range, as well as a 50 mW homing signal on 121.5 MHz to guide rescuers during final approach. Its 72-channel GNSS receiver (compatible with GPS, Galileo, and Glonass) ensures ultra-fast and precise position acquisition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRLS function and NFC connectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integration of the RLS (Return Link Service) protocol via the Galileo network provides a crucial advantage: an LED visual confirmation indicates to survivors that their distress signal has been received and located. Additionally, NFC technology allows the beacon to connect to a smartphone via Ocean Signal’s free app. This feature greatly simplifies maintenance by enabling battery status checks and functional test history without complex manipulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRobust design and technical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassified as Category 2 (requiring manual activation outside its bracket or automatic activation once submerged in water), this Class 2 beacon is certified to operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to +55°C. It guarantees a battery life exceeding 48 hours at -20°C thanks to its lithium-iron disulfide (LiFeS2) battery with a 10-year lifespan. Fully waterproof (up to 10 meters for 1 hour) and buoyant, it also features a dual strobe light (white visible light and infrared at 24 flashes per minute) to aid nighttime recovery. Its compact dimensions (410 x 90 x 101 mm) and weight of 422 g make it easy to integrate aboard any type of vessel.","brand":"Ocean Signal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53723777335636,"sku":"OS-702S-03932","price":918.14,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/Photoproduit_836b965b-a021-4cd7-a266-40a6f3648c14.png?v=1775667380","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en\/products\/ocean-signal-eplirb3-cat2-class2-ais-rls-nfc","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
