Vertix

Communications have gotten better in our world. So it would only go to say that Wireless headsets for bikers or skiiers have improved, too.

Vertix Ltd introduced two solutions. A boom mic for an open helmet, and a small mic for a closed helmet. The VERTIX™ Raptor-i provides convenient and uninterrupted mobile communication while on the move.

Vertix will hit the North American market for about half the retail price of conventional motorcycle communications gear at CES2012. They are looking for a $160 price range.

Interview by Andy McCaskey of SDRNews for the TechPodcast Network.
