(Motorcycle Transceiver Communicators)

New Products still under research.

For the past three years we have been asked by a client to undertake R & D in the field of miniature fully sealed communication systems especially designed for Motor Cyclists.

In all instances this system must meet necessary parameters, and European Legislation.

1. The system must fully function and operate with clear voice, Bike to Bike :-

i. In a built up area, City centre with a minimum range of 1 mile.
ii Through buildings, traffic, Lorries etc, with a minimum range of 1 mile. iii In open undulating country side a minimum range of 4 miles.
iv In open flat country horizon to horizon, normally minimum 15 miles.
v Clear voice, at any speed up to and over 100 mph.

2. The Transceiver box and associated accessories must be:-

i Small, compact, robust and easy to operate, even with gloves on.
ii Easily installed by franchise agents, or comprehensive instructions.
iii Accessories, aerial, unit etc, easily temporarily removed when not required.
iv Comprehensive assortment of different antennas/aerials.
v The transceiver control box to be of a modern design and, as I was told, "look `sexy` and small", (control box is 111mm long, 64mm wide and 34mm high).
vi The transceiver control box and accessories are All WATERPROOF and SEALED to IP67, (European electrical standard).
vii Operational at night with a subdued illuminated display.
viii And have, 2 stage outputs, channel Memory with Scan & Watch facilities, and good audio sensitivity and response.

3. The Microphone and Ear speaker unit should, or :-

i Must not interfere with the normal Motor Cycle Helmet, (It is an offence, UK, or your insurance may be invalid if you cut the internal foam or modify or attach any foreign body or component to your helmet.)
ii Must not interfere with the riders capabilities of hearing outside noise.
iii The Microphone/Ear speaker unit cables Must easily detach from the bike when dismounting, and have a suitable length of lightweight flexible lead. (At speed it was found that large long leads start to slap in gusty conditions).
iv In the event of an accident the Rider should be able to part company with his machine without the Microphone/Ear speaker unit cables ripping or pulling at his head or helmet. We have therefore developed two safety release points, so the short flexible lead can be entirely independently removed, all connections are miniature waterproof sealed units.
v To prevent and isolate any contact or alteration with the Helmet, (see 3 i), the Microphone/Ear speaker unit, has been especially developed to be Generic with the riders head. The unit is a miniature light weight and totally flexible headset, that attaches and hangs to one ear lobe. The miniature but very powerful Neodium Earphone, is attached with a thin flexible boom to a miniature Noise cancelling microphone unit, (the Mic needs to be positioned within 10mm of mouth). As this design and type of headset is very thin and small, the whole headset unit can be comfortably worn under a normal helmet balaclava, or within the normal helmet, without the addition of helmet clips or any other modifications.
vi The microphone unit is a noise cancelling type, with especially designed, automatic gain control and active filtering for the normal voice bandwidths.

4. The Transceiver unit should be easily licensable and must:-

i Be an approved CE rating, EMC approved and achieve all European ETS 300135 standards and be marked with CEPT----------.
ii Be acceptable and useable in all European countries, (most of the European Union countries recognise the CEPT/ETS approval).
iii Use an approved frequency relatively free from other users, (New European approved frequency in the 26Mhz FM range, with 40 usable channels, this frequency is also allowed to be used in the UK).
iv The user to Pay a small yearly fee, (£15.00 1997) to the Licence Authority Agency, and require no qualifications or instruction before use.

NOTES.

The Complete Transceiver Communication system and accessories, have been developed with the co-operation of Motorcyclists who regularly tour Europe. At each stage of development, (we are at a MkVIII-28 unit), each individual part of the product is thoroughly tested in the field by exacting and demanding riders, for a considerable length of time, (e.g. three different but compatible MkV units were tested on a tour of Spain). With the feedback reports of the riders, appropriate modifications and re-designs are constantly updated and incorporated into the finished product.

This Motorcycle Transceiver Unit will be widely available for the Spring of 1998, at an approximate total cost of £399 to £499 depending on accessories. If you require any further information please contact --,
