The most recent generation of Sena’s SRL for SHOEI – you can refer to it as ‘SRL-Mesh’ – is stacked with strong functionalities. Mesh Intercom™ is probably the most important one, although the sound erupting from Kardon speakers is also something to talk about.
This compact and slender SENA SRL is specifically designed to be incorporated into three of SHOEI’s most popular helmets (SHOEI Neotec 2 (manufactured as of March 8, 2019!), SHOEI GT-Air 2 and SHOEI J-Cruise 2) and is proving to be – we are sure of it – a perfect companion in each of these.
There is a new 'wifi cable' in the package. In concrete terms, this means: an extra module that is included in the charging cable and automatically 'downloads' the updates while you charge the device. Charge faster. A one-time Wi-Fi connection is all it takes.
Further, everything we’d expect to be present by Sena is represented: Bluetooth 5, Mesh Intercom™, 4-way Bluetooth® Intercom, Digital Assistant Access (via voice commands) and Advanced Noise Control™, just to name a few.
MESH & BLUETOOTH® INTERCOM
SRL-Mesh offers both Mesh Intercom™ and traditional 4-way Bluetooth® intercom, allowing for connection to any Sena or Sena-powered device. Sena’s industry-leading Mesh Intercom™ communication platform has two modes: Multi-Channel Open Mesh Intercom™ (Open Mesh) and Group Mesh Intercom™.
Open Mesh features the industry’s first Mesh Intercom™ channel system. Like standard handheld or CB radios, Open Mesh lets users switch between nine channels. Open Mesh offers a single push of a button to click-to-connect to the Mesh Intercom™ network. It also supports a near-limitless number of users within a range of up to 5 miles / 8 km (min. 6 riders @ 1 mi / 1.6 km intervals).
Group Mesh supports a single, private group for up to 24 participants and the same range as Open Mesh for a more intimate group conversation. Only invited users can join the Group Mesh chat. Open Mesh and Group Mesh provide unprecedented intercom audio quality and robust connectivity.
General note: The world of electronics (which also includes intercoms, smartphones, GPS, etc.) changes so quickly that it is possible that some (outdated) devices are not compatible with each other in certain areas. Unfortunately, the manufacturer can't provide us with data that shows which combinations between intercoms/GPS's and/or smartphones cause problems. A regular update of all electronic devices is therefore desirable to avoid problems as much as possible.
