Congratulations
You have just acquired a My-MOB emergency beacon by SIMY. We would like to thank you for your
purchase and hope the product will be to your full satisfaction.
My-MOB is SIMY's all-new "man overboard" emergency beacon. It comes in addition to the My-AIS beacon,
and was developed in partnership with the SNSM (French sea rescue association). It is the smallest in the
world in its category, and stems from cutting-edge technological research in the field of maritime safety.
Fitted with compact and high-yield electronics, and with a long-range helical antenna, the My-MOB
beacon sends your GPS position and distress message to your surroundings. It is used to alert other
in-range ships fitted with "chart-plotter" AIS receivers, as well as any other ships fitted with marine VHF
systems with DSC (Digital Selective Calling - Channel 70). In-range CROSS centres (operational
surveillance and rescue centres) would also be alerted and informed of your distress and location, to
organise a rescue mission.
Entirely designed and produced in France, My-MOB was created with the aim of becoming the smallest
beacon in the world. It can be easily integrated in even the thinnest and lightest life jackets on the market,
and does not hinder crew movement on board. It is also unique with its embedded electronics, as it has
both an AIS-MOB transmitter, an ultra-precise GPS and a DSC transmitter/receiver. This new DSC function
o ered by My-MOB helps widen the extent of distress messages sent by wrecked ships, by
communicating the MOB alert to all ships fitted with a VHF DSC system.
My-MOB meets all recent French and European standards in force, namely those of the 219 Maritime
A airs Division, pertaining to the use of AIS beacons with DSC transmitters/receivers.
It is simple and intuitive, with a robust design. My-MOB complies with international and maritime
standards in force, including IEC 63269 and IEC 61108-1.
Syrlinks is one of the largest space telecommunication system designers and manufacturers
(Rosetta-Philae space probe), and has been designing emergency satellite-operated beacons for several
years now (Cospas-Sarsat, Argos). The company has put all its know-how and experience into making
My-MOB very compact, high-performance and reliable. Integrated into your life jacket, My-MOB provides
safety and serenity during your leisure and nautical activities.
