Delivering up to 85 dBA of crystal-clear audio and a versatile Cortex H1 handset with touchscreen, click-wheel, and select keys for easy one-handed operation.
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.
Designed for Clarity, Simplicity, and Reliability
- Intuitive screens and step-by-step data flows during critical situations keep you in command when it matters most.
- The system’s robust audio power, proactive alerts, and clear voice prompts ensure you stay informed without confusion.
- Designed for straightforward operation on both portable and power-tethered handsets, Cortex delivers advanced features with everyday ease.
Whether you’re onboard or ashore, Cortex V1 provides secure, connected, and intuitive VHF communications with smart AIS integration. A premium solution for serious mariners who demand safety, clarity, and seamless integration with compatible MFDs and Cortex apps.
