Ocean Signal RescueME PLB3 AIS Personal Locator Beacon wins DAME Design Award 2022

Jury Chair Andre Hoek presented the world-renowned DAME Design Award 2022 to the Ocean Signal RescueME PLB3 AIS Personal Locator Beacon at the METSTRADE Breakfast Briefing on Tuesday 15th November 2022. The headline news of the compact PLB3 is its combination of an AIS man overboard device and GPS with a Cospas-Sarsat personal locator beacon, Galileo Return Link Service and incorporation of visible and infrared signal lights. In a rescue situation speed is always of the essence and this unit provides the very best chance for survival through this blend of long- and short-range detection technologies. The design detail goes even further though, in accompanying features like the well-illustrated instruction manual and in a Near Field Communication app that enables you to test the PLB3 using your mobile telephone. Ocean Signal's Mikele D’Arcangelo runs through the details of the device soon after news of the win.
