Cortex V1 VHF Radio with SOTDMA SmartAI
A REVOLUTION IN VHF MARINE COMMUNICATION
It will change your VHF experience forever. With an intuitive touchscreen handset engineered for durability, the Cortex V1 is a communications hub that integrates strong, clear audio with the power of AIS collision avoidance — plus remote systems monitoring and control from onboard or ashore.
- With up to 85 dBA of crystal-clear audio power, the Cortex V1 system delivers superior sound quality.
- The included Cortex H1 handset offers easy one-hand operation with touchscreen, click-wheel and select keys.
- A built-in SOTDMA AIS transponder proactively warns you of certain collision threats with voiced alerts.
- Quickly initiate DSC direct calls by tapping the AIS boat symbol on the handset’s touchscreen.
- Cortex apps let you monitor boat systems, receive alerts and remotely control devices from your compatible smartphone.
- NMEA 2000® networking allows you to view Cortex data on your connected MFDs and chartplotters.
VHF, AIS AND MONITORING
Cortex V1 is an advanced multi-station VHF radio with remote monitoring and control. The Cortex V1 system includes a Cortex M1 hub and Cortex H1 tethered handset. Connect additional Cortex handsets (sold separately) for even more freedom and control on board.
COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Cortex smartAIS continuously monitors AIS information from other boats and calculates crossing situations, generates collision alarms and provides easy-to-understand avoidance cues. Data from its built-in heading sensor is also broadcast, so other vessels can clearly identify which direction your boat is moving.
VHF VOICE FLEXIBILITY
Both portable and power-tethered style Cortex handsets connect wirelessly via Wi-Fi® link to the Cortex M1 hub. Keep a portable handset with you for continual VHF communications access from anywhere on your boat.
ONE-TOUCH DSC
Cortex lets you initiate DSC direct calls with other vessels by simply tapping the vessel icon on your handset. Initiate VHF calls to friends or quickly hail another vessel when every second counts.
ANCHOR WATCH
Whether you’re onboard or ashore, you can know for sure your boat is securely anchored. Cortex smartAIS accurately tracks boat movement, heading and bow position, alerting you if your anchor drags.
VHF, CLEAR AND LOUD
The Cortex VHF radio puts out up to 85 dBA of powerful, crystal-clear audio, so you won’t miss critical communications.
HORN AND LOUDSPEAKER
Need to catch someone’s attention? Easily sound preset horn signals or speak through your loudspeaker with any Cortex handset or the Cortex Onboard smart-device app.
HANDSETS ANYWHERE YOU NEED THEM
Multiple Cortex H1 and Cortex H1P handsets can be connected to each hub. Up to 5 can connect directly to the Cortex Network, with an additional 5 through an existing boat network for increased range on larger vessels.
NEVER MISS A WORD
The Cortex system’s cutting-edge SquelchEQ control is constantly adjusting for optimum listening performance, while its unique omni watch actively listens to all VHF frequency channels simultaneously and records each active channel for a playback period. With Cortex, you’ll truly never miss a word.
