Ocean Signal rescueME PLB1 | The World’s Most Compact PLB
Pocket-Sized Protection. Global Rescue Power.
The rescueME PLB1 is a marvel of British engineering. As the world’s smallest Personal Locator Beacon, it packs professional-grade satellite technology into a chassis small enough to be operated with one hand. Whether you are at sea, in the air, or deep in the wilderness, the PLB1 ensures that "off the grid" never means "out of reach."
