Cardo Systems Scala Rider PackTalk Duo

Details

The scala rider PACKTALK comes with dual core wireless technologies on board and operates both simultaneously: The Bluetooth® mode, offering all of the legacy connectivity features including the full backward compatibility with other scala rider models. The DMC™ mode will compliment and expand standard Bluetooth connectivity by offering group communication that is far superior to any other existing alternatives.

DMC technology constantly forms and re-assembles its virtual network, and assures that communication among large groups remains uninterrupted, irrespective of the ever-changing environment. Whenever a PACKTALK user cannot directly connect with group members beyond his intercom reach, it will adjust within split seconds and re-connect to the most suitable other member in the group in order to ‘leapfrog’ to the remote PACKTALK user.
