The working distance between each MeshPort Blue in Mesh Intercom can be up to 0.8 km (0.5 mi) in open terrain. In open terrain, the Mesh can be extended up to 3.2 km (1.9 mi) between a minimum of 6 users. 6 users can talk at the same time for an optimized, open group intercom conversation. Users can freely connect with each other.

Open Mesh

Open Mesh is an open group intercom function. Users can freely communicate with each other in the same Open Mesh channel and select which channel (1-9) to use through the Sena MeshPort App.

each channel.
