7. MESH INTERCOM

7.1 What is Mesh Intercom?
Mesh Intercom™ is a dynamic communication system created by Sena
that provides instant and effortless bike-to-bike communication without
a pre-grouping process. Mesh Intercom allows riders to connect and
communicate with nearby users without the need to pair each headset
together.
The working distance between each 50R in Mesh Intercom can be up
to 2 km (1.2 miles) in open terrain. In open terrain, the Mesh can be
extended up to 8 km (5 miles) between a minimum of six users. Within
the same channel in Open Mesh™ or the same private group in Group
Mesh™, six users can talk at the same time and enjoy the optimal
quality for their conversation.

7.1.2 Group Mesh

Group Mesh is a closed group intercom function that allows users to
join, leave, or rejoin a group intercom conversation without pairing each
headset. Users can freely communicate with each other in the same
private group in Group Mesh.
For closed intercom conversations using Mesh Intercom, a Group
Mesh needs to be created by the users. When users create a private
group in Group Mesh by Mesh Grouping, the headset automatically
switches from Open Mesh to Group Mesh. Up to 24 users can all be
connected in each private group.

  that of normal intercom.

• HD Intercom will become disabled temporarily when Bluetooth
  Intercom Audio Multitasking is enabled.

conversations and audio from the SR10 will not be heard during
intercom conversations. Three-Way Conference Phone Call with
Intercom Participant will not be available if HD Voice is enabled.
