The Intelligent Boat

• SOTDMA smartAIS transponder with remote vessel monitoring and control

Smart & Connected

• Predicts collisions with other vessels and knows when someone falls overboard 
• Knows when your anchor is dragging and will tell you when something is wrong, whether you're onboard or ashore 
• Cortex is the brain of your boat

The smartAIS Advantage

• smartAIS consumes very low power and continuously alerts even if your power intensive MFD or smartphone is switched off
• smartAIS proactively alerts you of potential collisions, anchor drag and man overboard situations

Collision Prevention

• smartAIS combines GPS, AIS and heading data with smart logic to proactively warns you of collision risks
• Clearly see the highest risk vessels 
• When using a Cortex handset, smartphone, or tablet, make trial maneuvers to see a simulation of where and when your paths will cross

Anchor Watch

• Sleep soundly or explore with abandon knowing that your boat is exactly where you anchored
• By combining your position and heading, Cortex will determine if your anchor drags 
• When 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

Man Overboard (MOB)

• When Cortex detects an AIS MOB activation it immediately sounds the alarm
• Compatible with all AIS MOBs, you will see where the MOB was first activated along with continuous updates to its location, bearing, and range 
• Get clear information and take the best course
• Label AIS MOB devices with crew names for easy identification
• Pressing the dedicated MOB button activates a trackback mode on all handsets and marks the MOB on NMEA 2000 connected MFDs

Label AIS MOB devices with crew names for easy identification.

• Pressing the dedicated MOB button activates a trackback mode on all handsets and marks the MOB on NMEA 2000 connected MFDs

Advanced SOTDMA Technology

• SOTDMA is the latest AIS technology with 5W power output, making your boat visible over a longer distance
• With faster and more frequent transmissions of your position to other vessels, you'll be safer, especially at speeds of over 14 knots

Connect via WiFi

• Receive alerts on your smartphone, tablet, or smartwatch anywhere onboard
• Connect up to 10 WiFi devices to receive and manage alarms, view AIS information and instrument data
• Integrate Cortex to your NMEA 2000 network and use your mobile devices to view information your instruments provide

10Hz GPS Update Rate

• With 10Hz GPS updates, your vessel position is more accurately plotted
• When you connect other devices to your Cortex GPS using NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183, all onboard equipment benefits from the superfast GPS

Integrated No-Loss Splitter

• The integrated no-loss splitter allows you to share a single antenna with another VHF and delivers optimum performance for both your VHF and AIS

Low Power Consumption

• With low input power, you can keep the Cortex always on, so you are always visible and always watching 
• Receive alerts without the need for power-hungry MFDs

Cortex Will Get Smarter.

• New features and capabilities are downloaded automatically to the Cortex Onboard app for easy updates to Cortex via WiFi whenever convenient

Remote vessel monitoring and control

• See your boat's status, receive alerts, and control devices

Easy setup, no fee

• With built-in sensors, you can see twice-daily updates of your boat's location, battery level, true heading, ambient temperature, and barometric pressure
• Connect to your NMEA network and monitor more - wind speed direction and water depth
• As long as your smartphone and boat have cellular access, you can know your boat is safe and secure 
• No subscription, no hassle

Real-time monitoring and control

• Subscribe to a Cortex Monitor Plan to receive alerts, see real-time information about your boat, and remotely control devices like lighting, air conditioning, refrigeration, or ice-makers
• Whether you've left your boat, at anchor, or at the marina, know exactly where it is and what's happening onboard

The world's most advanced VHF radio

• Upgrade to the future of VHF 
• The Cortex is VHF-ready, simply add wireless H1P handsets to enjoy the power of VHF and AIS combined
