Garmin Cortex V1 VHF Radio with SOTDMA SmartAIS and Remote Vessel Monitoring

Model: 010-02814-20

With up to 85 dBA of crystal-clear audio power, the Cortex V1 system delivers superior sound quality.

The included Cortex H1 handset offers easy one-hand operation with touchscreen, click-wheel and select keys.

A built-in SOTDMA AIS transponder proactively warns you of certain collision threats with voiced alerts.

Quickly initiate DSC direct calls by tapping the AIS boat symbol on the handset’s touchscreen.

Cortex apps let you monitor boat systems, receive alerts and remotely control devices from your compatible smartphone.

NMEA 2000® networking allows you to view Cortex data on your connected MFDs and chartplotters.

Cortex V1 is an advanced multi-station VHF radio with remote monitoring and control. The Cortex V1 system includes a Cortex M1 hub and Cortex H1 tethered handset. Connect additional Cortex handsets (sold separately) for even more freedom and control on board.

Cortex smartAIS continuously monitors AIS information from other boats and calculates crossing situations, generates collision alarms and provides easy-to-understand avoidance cues. Data from its built-in heading sensor is also broadcast, so other vessels can clearly identify which direction your boat is moving.

Both portable and power-tethered style Cortex handsets connect wirelessly via Wi-Fi® link to the Cortex M1 hub. Keep a portable handset with you for continual VHF communications access from anywhere on your boat.

Cortex lets you initiate DSC direct calls with other vessels by simply tapping the vessel icon on your handset. Initiate VHF calls to friends or quickly hail another vessel when every second counts.

Whether you’re onboard or ashore, you can know for sure your boat is securely anchored. Cortex smartAIS accurately tracks boat movement, heading and bow position, alerting you if your anchor drags.

The Cortex VHF radio puts out up to 85 dBA of powerful, crystal-clear audio, so you won’t miss critical communications.

Need to catch someone’s attention? Easily sound preset horn signals or speak through your loudspeaker with any Cortex handset or the Cortex Onboard smart-device app.

Multiple Cortex H1 and Cortex H1P handsets can be connected to each hub. Up to 5 can connect directly to the Cortex Network, with an additional 5 through an existing boat network for increased range on larger vessels.

Designed for simplicity with easy-to-understand screens and step-by-step data flows during critical situations, Cortex makes advanced features easy to use.

Instead of ambiguous bells or tones, you’ll hear a voice prompt to tell you what the alert is for. In case of a potential collision, you’ll also be told the direction of the threat, so you’ll quickly know where to look.

Man overboard (MOB) can be manually activated using the dedicated MOB button on the Cortex handset, Cortex Onboard smart device app or automatically from an AIS MOB beacon — which launches a trackback mode for quick retrieval.

Wet hands? Wearing gloves? Cortex handsets are designed to be glove friendly, and they’re built to operate in all types of saltwater or freshwater marine environments.

Cortex handsets are equipped with a click-wheel, ergonomic design and grip enhancing exterior, so you can use the device while keeping one hand on the helm wheel or tiller.

Cortex touchscreen handsets provide responsive multi-touch, pinch-to-zoom and panning control, ensuring fast, smooth navigation and intuitive operation.
