Description
Bring VHF communication, Class B SOTDMA AIS, and remote vessel monitoring together with the Vesper Cortex V1 SmartAIS VHF System. The package combines a VHF/AIS hub with a 4-inch touchscreen handset, making it useful for operators who want voice communication, DSC, AIS target data, and onboard monitoring in a single connected platform. Need to manage radio and AIS functions from a modern touchscreen handset? The Cortex V1 supports 25W VHF transmission, 5W SOTDMA AIS, NMEA networking, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and optional remote-monitoring services.
Key Specifications
- Vesper Cortex V1 VHF radio and SmartAIS system, model 1110002.
- Integrated 25W VHF radio and 5W Class B SOTDMA AIS transceiver.
- Marine VHF/AIS frequency coverage from 156.025–174.000 MHz.
- Class D DSC with dedicated DSC watch receiver.
- 72-channel GNSS receiver supporting GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou.
- Includes a 4-inch color touchscreen Cortex M1 handset.
- NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity.
- 9.6V–31.2V DC input with approximately 6W average draw and up to 35W peak during VHF transmission.
- IPX7 protection for hub and handset; approximate total bundle weight: 2.65 lb (1.2 kg).
- Hub bulkhead mounting with handset surface or flush mounting.
Integration
The Cortex V1 requires properly installed VHF/AIS antenna arrangements, valid MMSI/static vessel-data programming, GNSS reception, and compatible network/display connections. It is not a radar, chartplotter, EPIRB, or automatic collision-avoidance system. Confirm whether separate antennas or a manufacturer-approved splitter are required for the planned installation.
Class D DSC requires a properly programmed MMSI and valid GPS position. In the U.S., Channel 16 is used for distress, safety, and calling; Channel 70 is reserved for DSC and must not be used for voice communications. [928][932] Remote-monitoring features depend on service availability, subscription terms, connected sensors, network access, and configuration.
Installation Notes
Mount the hub in a dry, accessible location and install the handset where its display, microphone, and touchscreen controls remain easy to reach from the helm. Route VHF/AIS coaxial cables away from high-current wiring, position any external GNSS antenna with a clear sky view, and use correctly fused 9.6V–31.2V DC power sized for VHF transmission peaks.
Have a qualified installer configure MMSI and vessel details, DSC, AIS data outputs, handset pairing, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth security, NMEA integration, and remote-monitoring features. Test VHF voice, DSC, AIS reception/transmission, and connected device operation before regular use.
Before Ordering
Confirm VHF/AIS antenna design, MMSI and licensing requirements, compatible handset/MFD arrangement, NMEA/Ethernet needs, GNSS antenna location, 12V/24V supply capacity, remote-monitoring service availability, and professional configuration support before ordering.
