Cortex V1 System with Cortex M1 (left) and H1 Handset (right) Vesper Marine | 45 Sale Street, Freemans Bay, Auckland, New Zealand | +64 9 950 4848 | vespermarine.com Page 2 FCC Technical Test Reports The Cortex System was tested as both an intentional radiator as a Marine VHF, DSC and AIS device under FCC 47 CFR Part 80. The WiFi and Cellular aspects are pre-certified under modular approvals, however additional testing was performed to ensure compliance within the Cortex system under FCC Part 15. The following provides a summary and cross reference for the technical test reports provided to show compliance.

The only difference between the two is the Sierra Module. The North American variant M1-LTE uses the HL7688. RF Exposure The RF Exposure for the M1 and H1 have been treated independently. Since the handset is designed to be held in the hand and operated close to the face (~25cm) SAR testing was performed on the H1. An RF exposure assessment for the general public was performed for the M1. A separate report on both H1 and M1 summarizing this is provided, ​Cortex RF Exposure Evaluation.pdf.

The M1 was also referred to as the Pod and the Handset as the Remote. Some reports may reference these project names. The Cortex Hub and Handset are the final marketing names used. International Compliance Cortex was simultaneously tested to international standards for FCC, ISED and RED and where there was crossover between each regions’ requirements the worst case limits were applied, and in the interests of efficiency the product was tested to these worst case limits. This also applies where there is cross over within each regions’ requirements for each sub-system e.g. radiated emissions requirements of VHF and WiFi. A complete summary of the global test standards is provided at ​Vesper Cortex Test Specification Summary.pdf​. ​Test reports applicable to another region that are not included in this submission are available on request.

Both Hub and Handset come in two variants. The M1 is available with LTE cellular data communication for North America (M1-LTE), or UMTS (3G) for Europe and the rest of world (M1-3G). The two models are identical and equivalent in all other respects. The H1 is available in a tethered variant (H1) or non-tethered (H1P). The H1 has a curly power cord and is supplied with the M1 when sold as a Cortex V1 system. The H1P does not have a power cable but is instead designed to sit in a charging cradle. The H1P is identical and equivalent to the H1 in all other respects and is supplied as an accessory to the Cortex V1 system.
