Motorcycle Communications Systems - Wired or wireless?

The question we asked from time to time is "what is best communications systems for motorcycle riders?" We always follow this immediately with another question - "What exactly is going to decide"

This is because the possibilities are many, only by a driver who just wants to be able to answer his cell phone while driving, and perhaps with a navigation device, a group of riders who are able to keep in contact with each other while on the trip out. "

Throw in the fact that there are someThe equipment can make music and some want all this without the mouth, and you begin to understand how complex the communication can be a bike. There is therefore no ready answer to this question. One of the problems that we are very aware that it is easy to overload the customer with too much information that can be counterproductive.

Let's start with some basics. Driver and passenger would be able to communicate at a basic level, how can you stop the "usI need the toilet. "There are many systems available at affordable prices, that will do just this as Albrecht Rider available to passenger intercom Basic is available with full face or open face headsets. This is a battery cable intercom system. If, however, probably High speed will be traveling and need to contend with wind noise, this is not up to the task.

Starcom Advance System is not just a phone system, but an entire entertainment system. Pilot andPassengers can listen to the music, the silence when they hear about each other. The communication is clear, even at high speeds. The unit, the size of a credit card, battery bike is wired, so you do not need batteries. The headphones are available for open-face helmets or provided. The digital system allows the driver and passenger their music heard. Cell phones and GPS devices can be connected via cable or Bluetooth.

Maybe you do all thesebut do not want all the cables from the bicycle helmet or attack. Bluetooth can have a chance to look there. There are many Bluetooth devices available, especially from a small unit attached to the outside of the helmet or a clip or tape.

Inside the helmet, you usually have a microphone headset and a boom microphone or a stick to face helmets. Interphone Bluetooth has established a telephonethat allows you to connect either to another handset, namely the passenger or another driver, but also a cell phone phone/GPS/MP3 player. Originally it was unique in that it allows the user to a number of other Bluetooth devices.

Bluetooth intercom systems have moved to provide stereo sound and Interphone have their new F4 that assumes this to be related. Midland are also a number of BT Bluetooth phone system in their field and have their BTGO Starcom. The onlyThe disadvantage of Bluetooth is the range. For the driver, front passenger, is ideal, but if you use it for drivers to remember that drivers do not have the range to about 200 meters, which is fine if you're planning to stay close.

However, if you bike for communication between a group of drivers who do not feel close to each other can look, maybe you should think about the use of wireless devices. Once again, the many options, you can buy one each, headphones, radio, and PTT (pushtalk) and cable until all on the same wavelength (usually PMR446) was able to communicate with each other.

The offer varies depending on the radio, you (usually more than you can afford, the better for spending), but it should generally be in a position in a range between ¾ of a mile to two miles include, depending on the weather . Midland this is a great bike-a-bike kit that contains everything you need is a pilot, if two of you, there are 2 and is 10,10 Beautiful and the simple and convenient.

If you are looking for other functions such as listening to the possibility of using mobile phones and music, you have to go back to a system such as Starcom. wired with a unit of Starcom on the bike, you have these functions. Then you can record a radio kit for this unit and you're done.

So to go back to where we started, we can see that the solution are different, depending on your needs. This is a verywhere you pay what you get, you get many customers tell us who bought the unit for 20 pounds and it worked fine when they were testing their bike, but once on the road, they could not hear the other.
