The working distance between each +Mesh in Mesh Intercom can be up to 800 meters (880 yards) in open terrain. In open terrain, the Mesh can be extended up to 3.2 km (1.9 miles) between a minimum of 6 users.
Open Mesh is an open group intercom function. Users can freely communicate with each other in the same Open Mesh channel.
It can connect with a virtually unlimited number of users in each channel.

Note: If +Mesh cannot communicate with Sena products via Mesh Intercom, please update to the latest firmware.

Using the Mesh
Before using Mesh Intercom, you will need to pair a compatible Sena headset or helmet for the first time. The Bluetooth pairing operation is only required once for each Sena headset or helmet. The +Mesh remains paired with the headset or helmet and automatically connects to the paired headset or helmet again when they are within range of each other.

   + Mesh will be heard by all of the connected headsets.

5. If the headset or helmet has Audio Multitasking enabled or HD Intercom disabled, the intercom quality of Mesh Intercom will be reduced.
