Function
The easyRESCUE-SAT-MOB is the world‘s first sea rescue transmitter with AIS MOB alert, DSC distress call and Satellite Alert powered by Iridium®
The new easyRESCUE-SAT-MOB will be the world first emergency beacon combining local AIS alerting with DSC distress call functionality and SAT alerting via the Iridium® satellite network in just one single device.
This enables the MOB person to alert the own mothership via DSC, to alert all local vessels and to alert an MRCC via satelite distress func-tionallity.
The easyRESCUE-SAT-MOB is a battery driven sea rescue transmitter which is ready to be used within an automatic life jackets. In case of automatic activation by means of rip cord or water contact (when sub-merged), the unit starts automatically to transmit AIS, DSC distress call and Iridium® SAT alerting in parallel.
AIS
Via AIS emergency message all vessels with AIS receiver aboard in the vicinity of 10-15nm, including mothership, are informed about the distress situation. Updated every minute, this alert message contains current GPS position as well as COG and SOG of the victim in the drift.
DSC
Via DSC distress call up to 8 different vessels get a first alerting call within seconds after activation. The different MMSI numbers can be pre-pro-gramed into the easyRESCUE-SAT-MOB. After the GPS fix is given, a second DSC distress call is send out in „closed loop“, containing the GPS position of the victim. For the next 10 minutes, the „closed loop“ crews (pre-programed vessels), are able to acknowledge the incoming distress call. If there is no acknowledgement after 10 minites, the unit switches automatically into „open loop“ transmitting an „all ships call“ to everybody into the GMDSS rescue chain. This distress call can be relayed by commercial vessels to forward the alert to a coastal MRCC (maritime rescue coordination center).
Iridium® satellite network
Parallel to AIS and DSC, a satellite based distress call is send out to one of the Iridium® satellites creating the world wide Iridium® satellite network. This network guarantees a 100% coverage. By means of the Iridium® satellite network, the distress call is forwarted in real time to a ground station and then to the nearest MRCC. As soon as the distress alert is transmitted and processed, an acknowledgement will be sent by the system so you will know that help is on the way.

To frequently asked questions.
How does the easyRESCUE-SAT-MOB work in an emergency?
The easyRESCUE-SAT-MOB combines three alerting methods: AIS, DSC, and Iridium® satellite communication. Upon automatic activation by the ripcord or water contact, the device initiates the alert process simultaneously. AIS informs nearby vessels, DSC alerts pre-programmed vessels, and subsequently, the GMDSS rescue chain. Additionally, the distress call is relayed via the Iridium® satellite network to a ground station and the nearest MRCC. The device receives confirmation upon successful transmission.
What is the advantage of satellite alerting compared to a normal AIS MOB?
A standards-compliant AIS MOB already has several alerting channels: In addition to local AIS alerting, a DSC (Digital Selective Calling) distress call is also sent. This can first alert a pre-programmed MMSI group (“closed loop”) and then an “open loop” distress call to all vessels or the GMDSS rescue chain.
The easyRESCUE-SAT-MOB offers a crucial additional alerting channel: In parallel to AIS and DSC, a distress call is transmitted via the global Iridium® satellite network. This call is forwarded to a ground station and from there to the nearest Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC).
Thus, the easyRESCUE-SAT-MOB combines local alerting via AIS and DSC with direct satellite-based alerting of maritime search and rescue services – even when no suitable vessel is in the immediate vicinity.
How far does the AIS signal of the easyRESCUE-SAT-MOB reach?
Depending on conditions, AIS alerts typically reach a range of approximately 10 to 15 nautical miles. The AIS distress message is updated every minute and includes the current GPS position, course, and speed of the person in the water. This requires that a vessel equipped with an AIS receiver is within radio range.
How long can the easyRESCUE-SAT-MOB transmit in an emergency?
The AIS function of the easyRESCUE-SAT-MOB offers an operating time of up to 96 hours. The integrated battery has a lifespan of 5 years and consists of four lithium cells.
For whom is the easyRESCUE-SAT-MOB particularly suitable?
The easyRESCUE-SAT-MOB is particularly suitable for sailors, motorboat operators, and crews who travel outside busy coastal areas and don’t want to rely solely on alerting a nearby vessel in the event of a man-overboard (MOB). The combination of AIS, DSC, and satellite alerting offers several independent alerting channels.
