quick-charge function enables operating times of 3.5 hours ( Mesh Intercom ) or 6 hours ( Bluetooth Intercom ) after only 20 minutes of charging .
Via Bluetooth , the range of the Intercom is up to 2 km in open terrain . Via Mesh , this range can be extended to up to 8 km in open terrain if at least six riders are connected and riding at a maximum distance of 1.6 km from each other . For optimum range in Mesh mode , the unit is equipped with an antenna that can be conveniently folded in and out .
During active group communication , six users can speak simultaneously . As an alternative to communication via Mesh , it is possible to set up communication via Bluetooth with two participants .
There are two options for communication via Mesh :
• Group Mesh Intercom : Creation of private , closed groups for Mesh communication with up to 24 participants .
• Multi-Channel Open Mesh Intercom : The multichannel protocol in Open Mesh enables switching between nine communication channels . Anyone on the same channel can talk to the group – this option supports an almost unlimited number of riders as long as they are within range . Every participant can listen in .
At the touch of a button , users can switch between private Group Mesh and Open Mesh without having to reset Mesh first .
The Universal Intercom function can also be used to establish a call connection to a person using a headset made by another manufacturer . This can lead to restrictions in the range , however .
Communication via Mesh with communication systems made by manufacturers other than Sena or BMW Motorrad is not possible . Neither is it possible to integrate external communication systems in group communication via a Bluetooth bridge .
The ConnectedRide Com U1 is availble through all BMW dealers and outlets .
