AIS transponder Cortex M1 SOTDMA - WIFI - NMEA2000 - GPS

Hub Cortex M1 features

Visit Hub Cortex M1 is the your boat's brain.

• It predicts collisions with other ships and knows when someone falls overboard.
• It knows when your anchor is slipping and your boat is drifting.
• It tells you that something is wrong, whether you're on board or ashore.
• Connects to your NMEA 2000 network
• Sends data to your smartphone
• 10 Hz GPS antenna keeps track of your position

The Cortex M1 AIS transponder is versatile, first and foremost as a AIS transceiver class B SOTDMA.

It uses the same SOTDMA technology as AIS Class A transponders and therefore has the same priority when it comes to reserving a slot, guaranteeing that it will always be able to transmit, even in high-traffic areas with 5 W transmit power.

Sound integrated antenna splitter will enable you to use a single antenna for both VHF and AIS. What's more, a built-in amplifier improves reception and range.

With this all-in-one Hub, you can configure and monitor the Cortex system and receive alerts on a Wifi-connected smartphone in the Cortex Onboard app, available free of charge oniOS orAndroid. You can receive notifications on your smartphone, tablet or connected watch anywhere on board.

Cortex M1 network

Visit smartAIS Cortex M1 transponder acts as nMEA gateway and enables you to interconnect a large number of NMEA2000 devices, whether your multifunction displays, displays of all kinds, or even NMEA 0183 devices.

Get all the information you need from your on-board equipment directly on your smartphone tablet or PC via wifi, but also on the cortex H1 or H1P handsets (sold separately) or in the Cortex V1 Pack (Hub M1 + wired VHF handset H1) to create an all-in-one, connected and intelligent VHF.

Collision, surveillance and MOB

The intelligence of Hub Cortex M1And data display on your smartphone via wifi will offer you a range of actions, possibilities and settings for your transponder, but the 3 features unique to SmartAIS technology are :

• Collision avoidance :

SmartAIS combines GPS, AIS and heading data with intelligent logic to proactively warn you of collision risks.

Clearly visualize the highest-risk vessels. When using a Cortex handset, smartphone or tablet, perform trial maneuvers to see a simulation of where and when your paths will cross.

• Anchor monitoring :

Sleep peacefully or set off on an expedition knowing that your boat is exactly where you anchored it.

By combining your position and course, Cortex determines whether your anchor is dragging. If your boat moves outside the anchor radius, the alarm is triggered on the Cortex handsets and your smartphone. Receive alerts when you're ashore via the Cortex Monitor app on your smartphoneiOS or Android.

Want to know if water depth, wind speed or direction change while you're at anchor? No problem, the Cortex, connected to your equipment, monitors and alerts you.

• A man overboard:

When Cortex detects an AIS MOB (Man Overboard) activation, it immediately triggers the alarm.

Compatible with all AIS MOBs, you'll see where the MOB was first activated, as well as continuous updates of its position, orientation and range. Get clear information and set the best course.

Identify MOB AIS devices with crew names for better identification.

Pressing the dedicated MOB button activates a tracking mode on all handsets and marks the MOB on MFDs connected to NMEA 2000.

Optional wired handset

When paired with a handset Vesper Marine H1 cortex (wired) or H1P cortex (wireless), the hub M1 becomes a 25 W VHF radio with full Class D DSC functionality.

If the Hub Cortex M1 is the head and brain of the system, the Cortex H1 wired handset will be the arms, legs and rest of the body.

The handset consists of a 4" touchscreen with Reinforced Gorilla Glass screen, it is water and shock resistant. The screen is anti-glare and can be used wet or with gloves.

Shortcut buttons are also present, such as theaSN distress alert in a click, the emergency call on channel 16 or even mOB support which activates the man overboard mode on all connected devices and creates a waypoint to the person in danger.

Visit wired H1 handset connects to a 12V or 24V power supply and connects via wifi to Hub Cortex M1. You can connect up to 10 handsets to your Hub M1.

Optional wireless handset

To further enhance your equipment, you can purchase the following optional extras a Cortex H1P wireless VHF handset. This one has the same features as wired H1 handset, but allows for more great freedom of movement with the battery that provides ~10h operating time.

Upgrade your Cortex M1 and add additional handsets to access key functions in more areas of your boat.

The rechargeable handset is battery-powered and recharges on a base included connected to 12v or 24v, you can connect up to 10 handsets to your Cortex M1.

The Cortex M1 is modular, giving you the choice of using it on its own, with your smartphone to view data and set Hub parameters, or installing a wired or wireless handset, or both.
