VHF Reinvented

Cortex is a revolution in marine technology that will change your VHF experience forever with an intuitive touchscreen display designed to withstand the rigors of the harsh marine environment.

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. View critical information about vessels, AIS navigation aids and man overboard devices on your Cortex MFD, mobile or terminal.

Avoid collisions. DSC function with just one touch

Cortex continuously calculates the risk of collision and alerts you with voice alerts. View crossing situations, navigation light sectors and perform test maneuvers while talking on the VHF radio. Initiate Direct Calling (DSC) with other vessels by simply touching the vessel on your terminal's touchscreen. Push to talk and quickly call another vessel when every second counts.

Structural

Cortex combines built-in sensors, external sensor inputs, and NMEA 2000 connectivity with free basic monitoring. With cloud connectivity, you can view twice-daily updates on power, location, wind, depth, bilge, temperature, and more on your smartphone.

A Cortex Monitor Premium subscription unlocks real-time boat status, instant alerts, and device control for boat systems such as refrigerators, ice makers, lights, or heaters.

Anchoring control on board and on land

By combining your position and heading, Cortex will determine if your boat is dragging. If your boat moves outside the turning radius of your anchor, the alarm will sound on the Cortex headphones, the connected speaker and your smartphone. Receive alerts on land via the Cortex Monitor app on your smartphone.

The advantage of smartAIS

smartAIS proactively alerts you to potential collisions, dragged anchors and man overboard situations. smartAIS It consumes very little energy and alerts continuously even if your multifunction device or smartphone is turned off.
