AIS EPIRB (NSR)

AIS EPIRB from NSR with model NEB-2000 and NEB-3000 are Class II 406 MHz EPIRBs approved by COSPAS-SARSAT and comply with IMO MSC.471.

  • 406 MHz signal to Cospas-Sarsat satellites
  • 121.5 MHz for homing
  • Built in GNSS receiver and AIS transmitter
  • Automatic release device is activated underwater 4 meters
  • MED and CCS approval

Commercial vessels carry float-free 406 MHz EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons) as part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) to signal distress via satellite. New requirements (MSC.471(101)) for units installed on/after July 1, 2022, include mandatory GNSS (GPS) and AIS capabilities for faster localized rescue.
