VHF Reimagined
A revolution in marine technology that will change your VHF experience forever.
An intuitive touchscreen that is engineered for durability to withstand the
rigors of the harsh marine environment.
Audio that's as loud as a train but clear as a bell.
The future of VHF is here.
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 - Alert. Inform. Call.
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. See critical information that is
easy to understand and take action.
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.
Want to know if water depth, wind speed or direction changes while anchored? No
problem, Cortex will keep watch and alert you.
