Vesper CORTEX AIS/VHF kit

Information

The Cortex V1 is a multi-station VHF/DSC that takes advantage of AIS, 4G, GPS, NMEA gateway and other sensor technology to give you features that were previously only found on complex marine systems.The handset is actually a smart device that resembles the common smartphone, it comes with the V1 in the wired model (model H1), but you can buy separately the WiFi one (model H1P). In addition, all features except those related to VHF/DSC, can be used on the smartphone, via free app.The handset is connected to the blackbox (model M1) which processes and provides all the data. The blackbox is equipped with an internal splitter, so the installation is simplified, having to mount a single VHF antenna, without buying a separate splitter.The blackbox also provides the NMEA Gateway functionality that allows you to aggregate all the data already present in the boat and thus have them available in this system.Through the SIM we can remotely monitor from our smartphone all the data that have been integrated into the system and eventually set specific alarms, which warn, for example, if there is water in the bilge, or if the boat is outside a certain area etc.You can get two updates a day for free, or subscribe to the"Cortex Premium" where there are no limits to updates and alarms will be received in real time.In addition to the"Cortex Premium" you can also benefit from the Anchor Watch and Geofence functions remotely.The"Cortex Premium" costs 19.95 Euro per month or 159.95 per year and is a subscription that you have to subscribe directly from Vesper services (the app will guide you towards this direction).The most interesting features come from the integration of VHF/DSC withAIS and GPS. For example, detecting (via AIS/GPS) a boat on the display, we can with a simple tap on the symbol of the boat, selectively call that boat via DSC, and then switch to voice mode with the VHF.The flagship of the Cortex are some features that have been optimized over the years by Vesper as the anchor watch, the anti-collision system and the man overboard mode
