The M100 (Maritime Survivor Locating Device) from Ocean Signal has been designed to meet the needs of the professional marine market and its offshore workers. The M100 can be mounted on a life jacket or dry suit and is automatically activated upon inflation of the jacket or upon submersion when mounted on the suit.
When activated, the M100 will send an alert to all AIS receivers and AIS activated plotters nearby. The M100 also transmits a 121.5 MHz targeting signal in addition to AIS. The integrated 66-channel GPS ensures that a position update is provided every minute via AIS. The M100X is designed to meet the European ATEX directive and IECEx approval for use in zone 2 explosive atmospheres.
