Motorcyclists deciding which intercom brand to choose just had the job made simpler by an update to the Sena Wave app. Wave was first launched in 2024 but it took a while for the compatibility to make it to the UK. In fact, it wasn’t until this year that it started working properly this side of the Atlantic.
The idea is that intercom users of any brand can sign up for an account and then use the app to connect to each other rather than trying to get Mesh or Bluetooth connectivity to work. Because the app uses your phone’s cellular connection to work, there is theoretically no limit to range or the number of riders you connect with.
Despite different comms brands being cross-compatible for a while now, it’s often been seen as simpler for connectivity if all the riders in a group opt for the same. The Wave app frees riders up to choose whatever intercom they like, which is especially helpful if your helmet is compatible with an integrated Sena but all your mates have Cardos.
Further than a simple Sena vs Cardo debate, the app opens up the opportunity for any headset with Bluetooth connectivity to be used. Even a set of Bluetooth headphones would work (as long as the mic is strong enough) although the experience isn’t likely to be as good as a proper intercom.
Now, Sena have added the ability to create private groups in the Wave app, a function that makes the case for the app even more compelling. READ MORE...
