The Vesper Cortex V1 is an advanced marine communication and vessel monitoring system that combines a powerful VHF radio, Class B SOTDMA SmartAIS transponder, and remote boat monitoring into one integrated solution. Designed for serious boaters and offshore cruisers, the Cortex V1 enhances safety, awareness, and connectivity whether you're onboard or away from your vessel.

Unlike traditional VHF radios, the Cortex V1 features SOTDMA (Self-Organized Time Division Multiple Access) AIS technology, providing faster and more reliable AIS updates for improved collision avoidance in busy waterways. The system connects seamlessly with compatible multifunction displays (MFDs), smartphones, and tablets, delivering real-time vessel data and alerts worldwide.

• SOTDMA SmartAIS: Uses the faster SOTDMA technology (same as Class A), meaning your position is updated more frequently and you have a guaranteed time slot for transmission in high-traffic areas.

• Collision Avoidance: Continuously calculates collision risks and provides verbal alerts. You can touch a target on the screen and initiate a DSC call immediately.

• Remote Monitoring: Built-in cellular connectivity allows you to check your boat’s location, battery voltage, and sensor status (bilge, shore power, etc.) from your smartphone via the Cortex Monitor app.

• Integrated Anchor Watch: Provides peace of mind while at anchor; the system alerts your handset and your phone if the boat drifts outside your set swing radius.

• One-Handed Operation: The H1 tethered handset features a sunlight-readable touchscreen and a click-wheel for easy use with wet hands or gloves.
