The partnership will help overcome many of the common frustrations experienced

with traditional 'universally connected' devices, and foster a new era of

significantly improved cross-brand experience.

 

While 'universal connectivity' enables pairing between cross-brand

communicators, the experience for users is often inferior when compared to if

they were connected to a device from the same brand. The pairing process can

often be complex, previous connections forgotten and not always possible to

make phone calls or listen to music in parallel to the intercom connection. All

of these challenges are overcome with the introduction of the 'Open Bluetooth

Intercom' agreement.

 

Speaking on behalf of the partners Shachar Harari, VP of Business Development

explained: "Having just launched our 'Universal Communication Solution', the

announcement of our 'Open Bluetooth Intercom' further cements our commitment to

providing motorcyclists with the best solutions to communicate while riding.

The new partnership will enable riders to fully enjoy seamless Bluetooth

intercom connectivity across the brands and will further foster the penetration

of communication solution among rider world-wide."

 

'Open Bluetooth Intercom' describes various extensions to the 'Bluetooth

Handsfree Profile', designed for direct duplex communications between

Bluetooth-capable devices - enhancing the interoperability of different

partnership brands in the Bluetooth communicator market, meaning that riders no

longer have to agree with fellow riding partners on a brand to buy.
