SmartAIS, Safety, and Situational Awareness

• SOTDMA SmartAIS transponder proactively warns you of certain collision threats with voiced alerts and provides clear crossing information to help you avoid danger.
• Heading data from the built‑in sensor is broadcast so other vessels can clearly identify your direction.
• Track and monitor your position with reliable MOB capabilities: manually activate MOB or trigger it automatically from an AIS MOB beacon, with trackback for quick retrieval.
• Voice prompts replace ambiguous bells, telling you exactly what the alert is and the direction of any threat for fast, confident responses.

Remote Monitoring, Control, and Networking

• Remote vessel monitoring through Cortex apps on your compatible smartphone, enabling you to monitor boat systems, receive alerts, and remotely control devices.
• NMEA 2000 networking lets you view Cortex data on connected MFDs and chartplotters for unified aboard situational awareness.
• Multi-station capability with a Cortex M1 hub and Cortex H1 tethered handset; connect additional Cortex handsets to extend reach and control on board.
• Wireless Wi‑Fi link between portable and power-tethered handsets and the Cortex M1 hub, so you can stay in touch from anywhere on the vessel.
• Support for up to 5 handsets directly to the Cortex Network, plus an additional 5 through an existing boat network for larger vessels.

DSC, Communications, and Silencing the Unknowns

• DSC direct calls to other vessels by simply tapping the AIS vessel symbol on your handset, enabling rapid hail when every second counts.
• Easily sound preset horn signals or speak through your loudspeaker using any Cortex handset or the Cortex Onboard smart-device app.
