Reso to shake up premium moto comms market in PH

MANILA: Reso, a motorcycle communications system, has entered the Philippines and will have its public debut next month.

Set to compete with Cardo and Sena in the premium segment, the brand will be at the Makina Moto Expo on April 4-6.

To mark its entry in the country, the marque will offer the Reso Pilot Pro as its initial product. The aforementioned device will go toe-to-toe against the likes of the Cardo Packtalk Pro and Sena 50S.

Here are some notable features about the Reso Pilot Pro.

Product specifications

Revealed during a media preview, Reso Philippines Chief Executive Officer Julius King expressed pride in the new product’s quality, noting that those who created it were previously from DJI.

Under ideal conditions, the Reso Pilot Pro offers a connection range of 2.5 kilometers or up to 12 kilometers for a team of 30 people (maximum), thanks to its DuoSync hard mesh system.

Meanwhile, its soft mesh communication system further multiplies the range by connecting to a mobile hotspot.

Buyers of the Reso Pilot Pro would get to enjoy the intercom for long hours as its 1,950-milliampere-hour battery can last up to:

Listening to music alone:	18 hours
Mesh intercom and music listening	13 hours

After usage, the device can be fully charged in around an hour using a Type C USB cable.  

Ensuring users have clear conversations is its self-developed noise reduction system while its multi-channel audio system has adaptive mixing and volume adjustment.

In addition, the Reso Pilot Pro is IP67-rated waterproof and has a magnetic mounting base to securely fasten the apparatus.

Further, King noted that the Reso Pilot Pro can be connected to action cameras — letting users record using the new product's microphone.

Other notable features include:

• Music sharing
• Intelligent voice assistant support
• SOS support
