This is the new top-of-the-range intercom from Interphone; and we would venture to say that it’s far and away the cleverest and most versatile on the market. It’s called the UCOM 16 and this is the twin pack version so you get two of everything!
The configuration is the same as the same as the 2 and 4 models; and that means that the control unit is super-slim, with the battery module fixing with a sticky pad to the back of the helmet. Now the other thing that the 16 has in common with the 2 and 4 models is that the unit is totally compatible with all Sena comms. systems. And that makes it unique. But the 16 is a mesh system. Now, for those who don’t know these things, mesh technology allows riders to form an open channel, so that riders can talk over much greater distances. In fact the U.COM 16 will connect with up to 24 riders. The only problem with mesh systems is that everybody in the chain needs to have a mesh unit for the system chain to work properly. Of course, the U.COM 16 will also work as a non-mesh comms. unit. The U.COM 16 is compatible with all Mesh 2.0 systems and all Bluetooth 5.0 systems. The system will not talk directly with Cardo, however.
The 16 also has a spec. that is better than the other models in the U.COM range. Here’s a brief run-through, although for a full breakdown see the bullet points below.
You can connect two phones to the unit at a time. Receiving calls can be voice activated. And calls can be shared over two comms. units. The unit will connect to all Bluetooth phones, to all sat navs and to all OEM TFT systems. Obviously, as we’ve suggested, the unit will connect seamlessly to any Sena unit. The 16 comes with larger, 40 mm High Definition speakers. The 16 also has an FM radio with an RDS function.
Talk distance on the 16 is 1.6 kms. In terms of charging, you can charge from empty to full in one hour. A full charge will give you 8 hours in mesh configuration and 15 hours in standard Bluetooth. A 20 minute charge will give you 6 hours Bluetooth, 3 hours of mesh.
The system, unlike most on-the-side Sena systems, is IP67 waterproof rated.
