Industry firsts are said to include the first ever
unlimited-rider mesh intercom with multi-
hop auto switching, buttonless gesture
controls and the USAFE impact sensor, which
can alert a user's contacts with their GPS
location if they've been in an accident. This is
a new approach to a facility that all new
motorcycles will need to be equipped with
before too long - certainly within the next
decade.
"These units are built to perform on any helmet and
in any riding condition on the planet, from the North
Pole to a rainstorm at the Equator - and to be easier
than ever to use," says Wolfgang. "We're especially
excited about the USAFE feature, which could save
riders' lives. We're expecting major sales in all riding
segments with the UCLEAR Motion Series".
USAFE uses an advanced accelerometer, a triaxial
crash sensor, built in. It can measure impact forces to
detect and measure hard impacts. If you are
unresponsive and have a connected GPS enabled
mobile device, USAFE can alert (up to 3) emergency
contacts of your situation and GPS location. They are
contacted through both email and text via the
connected phone and the USAFE contact database.
A custom message is included, with rider contact
information, satellite view of the crash site, and a list
of the closest medical facilities. Additionally, the first emergency contact receives an
auto-dialled phone call. USAFE requires no
subscription and is included in the Motion Infinity
helmet communicator to help injured riders receive
care as quickly as possible.

adjustable ABF noise cancellation, a graphic

"In the near future we may also be able to use this
technology to relay G-Force data to medical
caregivers. But the benefits of the system don't stop
there," said Wolfgang. "Without giving too much
away to our competition, I can exclusively confirm to
