Cortex M1 Hub is a Full Class B SOTDMA smartAIS with out-ofthe- box monitoring. Cortex V1 combines Cortex M1 with Cortex H1 Tethered Handset to provide full VHF functionality. Optionally add H1P Portable Handsets for even greater freedom on board.
Cortex is the world’s fi rst VHF with high speed SOTDMA AIS transponder technology making your boat visible to others. A built-in heading sensor tells other vessels your direction, helping them more accurately predict potential collisions.
Configure and monitor the Cortex system and receive alerts to a connected smartphone on the Cortex Onboard App or receive alerts and control devices on the boat remotely using the Cortex Monitor App.
