Powerboat-World.com-- The unique V100 VPIRB (VHF Position
Indicating Radio Beacon) turns conventional MOB technology on its head
through the simple concept that lives can be saved if vessels in the
local area are immediately notified of a MOB incident and automatically
provided with the casualty’s GPS coordinates. As the VPIRB sends its
distress signal by VHF DSC, no expensive, additional onboard equipment
is required, and because of this, any mariner can choose to carry a
V100 and increase their own chances of rescue in a MOB incident. The
Mobilarm V100 is a fully automated, maritime survivor locating device
that transmits a MOB distress call via VHF DSC and VHF voice to all VHF
radio equipped vessels and land based receivers within range, including
the distressed mariner’s vessel. The pocket-sized VPIRB is attached to
clothing or lifejackets and will automatically activate if the wearer
goes overboard, sending out a distress call and real time GPS
coordinates of the casualty’s current position.
