The power of VHF and AIS combined

• Cortex is the world's first VHF with high speed SOTDMA AIS transponder technology, making your boat visible to others
• A built-in heading sensor tells other vessels your direction, helping them more accurately predict potential collisions
• Be armed with critical information about vessels, AIS marks (AtoNs) and man overboard devices on your MFD, mobile or Cortex handset

Collision Avoidance & One-Touch DSC

• Cortex continuously calculates crossing situations and generates collision alarms for critical action 
• Alerts if your anchor is dragging, and activates MOB alarms for immediate retrieval 
• Instead of ambiguous bells or tones, Cortex sounds the alarm with voiced alerts that escalate until acknowledged
• Continuously view crossing situations, navigation light sectors, and complete trial maneuvers while talking on the VHF radio
• Initiate direct calls (DSC) with other vessels by simply tapping the vessel on your handset touchscreen 
• Initiate VHF calls to friends or quickly hail another vessel when every second counts

Monitor

• Cortex combines built-in sensors and NMEA2000 connectivity with free basic monitoring 
• Using cellular connectivity, you can view twice-daily updates of power, location, wind, depth, bilge, temperature, and more on their smartphones 
• The Cortex Monitor Premium subscription unlocks real-time vessel status, instant alerts, and device control for boat systems like refrigerators, icemakers, lights, or heaters

Anchor Watch

• Sleep soundly or explore with abandon knowing that your boat is exactly where you anchored it
• By combining your position and heading, Cortex will determine if your anchor drags 
• If your boat moves outside your anchor swing radius the alarm will sound on Cortex handsets and your smartphone
• Receive alerts while ashore via the Cortex Monitor App on your smartphone
• Cortex will keep watch and alert you about changes in water depth, wind speed, or direction while you are anchored
