The CONNECT-X app transforms your smartphone or wearable into a remote command mic, allowing you to roam freely around your vessel while managing communication, navigation, and emergency functions from anywhere onboard. With the app installed, you can access AIS data for enhanced convenience and safety, respond instantly to emergencies with MOB alerts and recovery locations, and stay informed of CPA, anchor drift, and inbound DSC messages. You can also maintain full control over VHF communications, including private or vessel-wide crew communications and PA system management.
