Main module (processor / router / server)
CysBOX
CysBOX is the central unit of the CysBOX System assembly, the “heart” of the system, which offers advanced functionalities based on adapted software applications: autopilot, alarm management, etc., and the most suitable management and navigation software. more widespread (signal-K server, mapping, etc.).
A hardened IP65 touch screen, USB or Wireless keyboard provide a complete management unit for boat control and navigation.
