Cardo Systems: The most exciting new rider communications system in years, Cardo followed up the
big leap forward represented by its user-friendly ergonomics of its PACKTALK line by knocking the
ball out of the park with next generation Voice Command Operated PACKTALK Bold - featuring voice
command activation, coupled with Dynamic Mesh Communication technology. Said to be the world’s
first natural voice-command operated motorcycle communications system, the company says it has
created “the industry’s most sophisticated and dynamic motorcycle communications system - a new
standard in ease-of-use, seamlessly integrating with Apple’s Siri and “OK Google” voice-command
platforms. With natural voice-command, riders can simply say “Hey Cardo,” and the always-on
system reacts instantaneously. It no longer requires a specific activation action such as push-to-talk.
Instead, the system allows riders to keep their hands on the bars at all times”. Kudos to Cardo
founder and CEO Dr. Abraham Glezerman - his proprietary Dynamic Mesh technology allows up to
15 riders to wirelessly communicate with each other with the same ease of connecting just two.
Unlike Bluetooth communications, Dynamic Mesh Communication-powered devices are
interconnected, thus allowing a group of riders to seamlessly join, leave or change positions at a
distance of up to five miles without causing a breakdown in communications. Huge!
