The Need to Communicate

A Bluetooth communication devices are ideal for bike intercom systems. They are secure, reliable and powerful enough to allow you to communicate with other riders that are within your range. If you want an intercom to just chat with fellow bikers or a passenger or you need to communicate for professional or business reasons then bluetooth technology is ideal.

When Bluetooth devices are within range, a conversation between them occurs to determine whether they have data to share or whether one will control the others. It is an automatic process. Bluetooth devices use a personal area network or Piconet. Once a Piconet is established, the frequencies of the device members hop frequently and simultaneously to keep in touch with one another and to avoid other Piconets that may be in operation.
