Vesper Cortex-V1 VHF Radio with AIS & Remote Vessel Monitoring - 010-02814-20

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.

This is the updated version of the Vesper Cortex V1 VHF Radio with AIS & Remote Vessel Monitoring System (part number: 200221)

Cortex V1 Features:

• Up to 85 dBA of crystal-clear audio power, the Cortex V1 system delivers superior sound quality
• The Cortex H1 handset offers easy one-hand operation with touchscreen, click-wheel and select keys
• SOTDMA AIS transponder proactively warns you of certain collision threats with voiced alerts
• Initiate DSC direct calls by tapping the AIS boat symbol on the handset's touchscreen
• Monitor boat systems, receive alerts and remotely control devices from your smartphone
• NMEA 2000 networking allows you to view Cortex data on your connected MFDs and chartplotters

Cortex M1 Features:

• A high-speed smartAIS transponder transmits your boat's location and heading and proactively warns of certain collision threats
• In addition to collision alerts, smartAIS will trigger alarms for anchor drag or man overboard situations
• This hub comes VHF-ready. Simply add a Cortex handset (sold separately) for full VHF radio capability
• A GPIO port and supplied cable allow you to monitor bilge pumps, security sensors, shore power and more
