Bluetooth is a short range wireless technology used primarily
by mobile phone, enabling mobile phones to communicate without
wires with headsets. Bluetooth can be used effectively on a
motorcycle to communicate between rider and pillion, to
communicate with communication devices such as GSM telephone,
walkie-talkie, computers, listen to music and even receive
telemetric data.
The first helmets equipped with bluetooth technology have arrived.
If you can have a helmet that is pre-equiped with bluetooth, headset
and a microphone than you are in business.You can talk to your passenger,
or even with other bikes that are close to you. You can also communicate
with your mobile phone if the phone is bluetooth equipped.
Momo, the Italian helmet manufacturer, are investigating several helmets
pre-equiped with Bluetooth. They are working together with Motorola to
include a bluetooth transmitter inside their helmets. Availability is
expected in early 2005.
