SIMY® launches My-AIS™(*), the world’s smallest marine distress beacon.
Maritime safety has been dramatically increased since the emergence of AIS-MOB emergency beacons used by sea professionals.
By sending a distress message using AIS local network, AIS-MOB beacons are today the smartest and fastest way to send a local alert, being GPS-located and rescued by nearby vessels within radio range (5 to 10 nautical miles).
With SIMY My-AIS fitted into your lifejacket, save up to 100 € per beacon and offer to everyone aboard a true safety ally.
SIMY aims at providing the most inexpensive and the most advanced high-tech products for your outdoor activities, on land and at sea.
SIMY My-AIS is 2 to 4 times more compact than other comparable beacons and has 7 years battery life. My-AIS has been designed with care by SYRLINKS in France, one of the world leaders in miniaturization of space radio communication devices.
SIMY® is the brand name of SYRLINKS’ safety products marketed on www.simy-beacons.co.uk
UNEQUALLED COMPACTNESS: 2 to 4 times smaller than competing beacons
COST-EFFECTIVE & FOR ALL: Save up 100€ per beacon
Quality design & manufacturing: Designed & produced in France
Compactness: My-AIS fits into all lifejackets
Most distress beacons are large and can interfere with the movements of those who wear them. They are generally used very little by amateur or occasional boaters. My-AIS is smaller than a cell phone (11x4x2 cm) and very light (95g), it will be discreet and quickly forgotten once inserted into the user’s vest.
SIMY: safety at sea for all
The United Kingdom boating market currently covers 256 coastal ports and 229 inland ports. Growth in the yachting sector increased by 3.4% in 2017 with the east and south of the United Kingdom representing the heart of the market. My-AIS makes safety at sea accessible to all at an affordable price. This type of beacon is no longer only reserved for insiders or sea professionals.
At sea, mutual assistance prevails in case of distress
Once activated, My-AIS transmits the GPS position of the shipwrecked by VHF waves. Ships or coast stations within radio range (5 to 10 nautical miles) will instantly know their distress situation and GPS position. They can then intervene as quickly and efficiently as possible to rescue the shipwrecked.
