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
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
