Engineered for riders who demand seamless connectivity and high-performance audio, the A-Connect combines the latest Mesh 3.0 and revolutionary WAVE cellular technologies with Bluetooth 5.3 in one sleek, integrated system designed exclusively for the Alpinestars S-R7 helmet.
What is Mesh 3.0? Mesh 3.0 is the newest generation of mesh intercom technology. It creates a dynamic, self-healing network between riders that automatically routes the strongest possible signal. This delivers rock-solid, crystal-clear communication with a range of up to 2 km, supporting a virtually unlimited number of riders. You can ride in Open Mesh mode (anyone nearby can join) or create a private group for more controlled communication.
Whether you’re riding in a tight group or spread across long distances, the A-Connect automatically switches between Mesh 3.0 and WAVE cellular connectivity, ensuring you never lose contact. WAVE leverages cellular connectivity to enable seamless communication with riders or groups, whether nearby or hundreds of miles apart, ensuring you never lose contact.
Equipped with a dual-core CPU and advanced AI-powered noise cancellation, the A-Connect eliminates wind, road, and engine noise even at high speeds. Premium 40 mm second-generation Harman Kardon speakers deliver rich, high-resolution sound for music, GPS navigation, and phone calls, while the high-fidelity wired microphone ensures your voice comes through sharp and naturally.
Powered by a next-generation voice engine, the A-Connect elevates hands-free control with fast and accurate performance: answer or ignore incoming calls, manage intercom settings, adjust music, navigate, and more using just your voice, so you can keep your hands on the handlebars and your focus on the ride.
The Auto Stand-by function, IPX5-rated waterproof protection, extended battery life, and seamless over-the-air updates combine to deliver a truly unrivalled user experience.
Designed exclusively for seamless installation in the Alpinestars S-R7 helmet.
