BT1000 Long range bluetooth
Here it is and its just turned up! Ive tried it and been impressed . typical range is 500-600m and the clarity is good in my noisey HJC helmet , however like all 2,5 Ghz equipment , it will not go around blind corners so so long as you can see the other riders headset you can talk ! Its size is amazing compared to a AA alkaline battery !! Its rider pillion/bike to bike capable , pairs to a cell phone , has A2DP profile (MP3 stereo music from a cellphone) , can sequentially pair to 2 other BT1000 !!! Im quite proud of this unit as I had a large input into the developement of same, It has SMA attached antennas , so its performance can be improved by changing antennas ( bigger antenna , more gain equals greater range !) This is a class one bluetooth unit so it is a high power bluetooth system ,+20dBm output . The manufacturer has had a line of sight range of over 1000 meters ! that of course is in optimum conditions with no obstructions and from two high points ( this range is easily acheiveable in theory given the +20 dBm output , 3 db antenna gain and -83 dBm receive sensitivity ) however you may not get that sort of range bike to bike due to vehicles in proximity etc ,obstruction , non line of sight probably more like 500-800 m operational distance . The BT1000 would be the only motorcycle communication unit on the market with this sort of range , nothing else comes close ! it will also connect to an external usb battery pack if you want to take the operational time over 7 hrs continuously . Installation is so easy as the earspeaker boom mic velcro into the helmet and a clip is supplied to hold the unit on the left side of the helmet though I am a fan of sticky back velcro for this .....
