Sena Technologies Ushers in the New Standard in Motorcycle Communication with WAVE Intercom

Breaking barriers in rider connectivity across the globe with cellular network-based motorcycle group communication

Irvine, California, USA – November 2024 – Sena Technologies, the global leader in motorcycle communication systems, sets a new standard for communication on two wheels with the introduction of WAVE Intercom, a revolutionary cellular network-based communication protocol that virtually eliminates distance and device limitations to connect riders with anyone, almost anywhere around the world.

“Ride Connected has been our guiding principle for many years,” says Tim Seargeant, Senior Marketing Manager at SENA Technologies. “With WAVE Intercom, we’re expanding that philosophy by enabling motorcyclists to stay connected with fellow riders, irrespective of the brand of each device, and even friends and family who aren’t on the road, from virtually anywhere on Earth.”

The Wave Intercom network is accessed through the Sena Wave Intercom smartphone application.  Sena brand headsets, such as the new 60S, are optimized for Wave Intercom for the highest quality audio and communication clarity, in addition to a rider-centric User Interface (UI) to control the smartphone application through the buttons on the headset.  Legacy Sena models, such as the 50 series, will receive Wave Intercom UI functionality through a firmware update, concurrently with the public release of the app.  Other legacy models, such as Sena Mesh devices and smart helmets, will receive their firmware updates as early as January 2025. 

According to Sena’s Chief Technical Officer, Dr. Brad Ahn, PhD. “Wave Intercom as a communications medium is just the beginning.  Our future vision for the platform will transform our customer support capabilities, as well as offer new forms of community engagement through social media-like features tailored for motorcyclists.”

Additional highlights of Wave Intercom include as follows:

  • Geo-based Group Intercom – Connect with nearby Wave users at the touch of a button.
  • Friends-based Group Intercom – Connect with friends from your predefined list.
  • Live Location Display – See real-time location of active Wave friends for better coordination and safety.
  • Intelligent Intercom Conversion – Automatically switches to Mesh Intercom in areas with weak or no cellular network coverage for uninterrupted connectivity. 
  • AI-Powered Intuitive Speech Interface – Control your Sena unit and Wave app using your natural speech patterns.

Wave Intercom will be available as a free download through the Apple App Store and Google Play in Q4 2024.  For more information about Wave Intercom, visit www.sena.com.
