Cortex V1 is an advanced multi-station VHF with intuitive touchscreen operation. Full Class B SOTDMA with smartAIS send and receive, and integrated no-loss splitter. Monitor and control on board systems and keep alerted on board or ashore from a compatible smartphone. Cortex V1 VHF radio combines Cortex M1 full Class B SOTDMA smartAIS with Cortex H1 Tethered Handset to provide full VHF functionality. Optionally add H1P Portable Handsets for even greater freedom on board.

An experience so intuitive

DSC - Initiate direct calls (DSC) with other vessels by simply tapping the vessel on the handset. Initiate VHF calls to friends or quickly hail another vessel when every second counts.

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

Integrated with any MFD

Cortex provides AIS information to all MFD's, including vessels, MOBs and virtual AtoNs. See critical information on the Cortex handset for instant awareness and reaction while also giving AIS visibility to the MFD at the helm. See the status of NMEA connected devices both on and off the boat using the Cortex Monitor App.

Large 4 inch intuitive touchscreen display

Pinch to zoom - Zoom in to focus on a single vessel or out for a wider view of everything around the vessel.

Gorilla Glass screen - Engineered for harsh marine environments and maximum durability.

Plotter screen - See AIS transmitting vessels to maintain situational awareness. Easily see which vessels present a risk by viewing their speed, course and any potential crossing situation.

Intuitive to use - Touch vessels to see their details, easily make a DSC call or swipe to change VHF channels.

Wide viewing angle and sunlight-viewable - Always viewable, even when wearing polarized glasses.

AIS/VHF Display - AIS Vessel information is continuously displayed (name, bearing, and relative position) even while talking to them on VHF.

Never miss a word - Enjoy crisp clear sound through an 85db speaker. Instead of ambiguous bells or tones, Cortex sounds the alarm with voice alerts that escalate until acknowledged.

Handsets anywhere they are needed - Communicate from anywhere on board with up to 10 handsets. Locate a tethered handset wherever power is convenient. There's no need to run any wires to the Cortex M1.

The power of VHF and AIS combined

Cortex is the world's first VHF with high speed SOTDMA AIS transponder technology, making the boat visible to others. A built-in heading sensor transmits the boats direction, helping them more accurately predict potential collisions. Be armed with critical information about vessels, AIS marks (AtoNs) and man overboard devices on the MFD, mobile or Cortex handset.

The smartAIS advantage - smartAIS proactively alerts of potential collisions, anchor drag and man overboard situations. smartAIS consumes very low power and continuously alerts even if the power intensive MFD or smartphone is switched off.

• Collision Avoidance: Safety underway
• Anchor Watch: Safety at anchor
• Man Overboard: Safety for the crew

Remote vessel monitoring and control - See the boat's status, receive alerts and control devices.

Easy setup, no fee - With built-in sensors, see twice daily updates of the boat's location, battery level, true heading and barometric pressure. Connect to the NMEA network and monitor more - wind speed direction and water depth. When the smartphone and boat have cellular access, see that the boat is safe and secure.

Real-time monitoring and control - Subscribe to a Cortex Monitor Plan to receive alerts, see real-time information about the boat and remotely control devices like lighting, air conditioning, refrigeration or ice-makers. Whether the boat is at anchor or at the marina, know exactly where it is and what's happening on board.
