Open-Channel Communication in Noisy Environments
In noisy industrial environments, clear communication can be difficult, especially on larger sites where teams are spread across different areas.
Shouting, phone calls and walking across site are not always practical or efficient ways to communicate.
The Shokz OpenComm2 Industrial headset and Sena Bluetooth Mesh adaptor work together to create a simple, hands-free communication system that helps teams stay connected across wider working areas.
What is the Shokz OpenComm2 headset?
The Shokz OpenComm2 is an open-ear headset that uses bone conduction technology.
It sits outside the ear and sends sound vibrations through the cheekbones to the inner ear, leaving the ear canal clear.
The headset uses a noise-cancelling boom microphone to help deliver crystal-clear communication in noisy environments.
What is the Sena Bluetooth Mesh Adaptor?
The Sena Bluetooth Mesh adaptor connects the Shokz headset into a wider group communication system.
The headset connects to the adaptor by Bluetooth. The adaptor then uses Mesh technology to link users together, allowing teams to communicate through the same open channel.
A simple way to think of it is like a walkie-talkie system, but without needing to press a button each time you want to speak. Team members can talk more naturally while they continue working.
This is particularly useful on larger or noisy industrial sites, where teams may be spread across production areas, maintenance zones, warehouses or yards.
How does the system work?
Each worker wears a Shokz OpenComm2 Industrial headset and carries a Sena Bluetooth Mesh adaptor.
The headset connects to the adaptor.
The adaptor connects to other Sena adaptors.
The team can then speak to each other through the same open channel.
This creates open-channel communication, meaning the team can stay connected in a live group conversation without needing to make phone calls, shout or stop working.
