Cortex
VHF ⁄ AIS ⁄ MONITOR
The world's most advanced VHF with built-in smartAIS SOTDMA transponder and remote vessel monitoring.
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 rigours of the harsh marine environment. Audio that's as loud as a train but clear as a bell. The future of VHF is here.
DSC
Initiate direct calls (DSC) with other vessels by simply tapping the vessel on your handset.
One hand operation
Cortex is ergonomically designed for one-handed operation with quick touch control or navigation using the unique click-wheel.

Wet use
Wet hands or wearing gloves? No problem. Cortex is submersible for 30 minutes (IPX7) and its touchscreen works perfectly with gloves or wet hands.
Smart and connected
An intelligent boat can see what you can't. It predicts collisions with other vessels and knows when someone falls overboard. It knows when your anchor is dragging. It tells you something is wrong, whether you're on board or ashore. Cortex. The brain of your boat.
