Mesh Boost is an addition on 3 features to your DMC capabilities, and a fresh look & feel for your intercom screens and experience on your Cardo Connect App. Mesh boost introduces:

• Expanded Group Size – Support for up to 31 members (previously 15), delivering the largest TRUE DMC network in the market—without compromising any existing DMC capabilities.
• Public Mesh – Join an open DMC network and communicate with nearby users without creating a private group.
• Remote Grouping – Create and manage DMC groups remotely using the Cardo Connect app.
• Enhanced User Experience – Updated app screens and workflows designed to support Mesh Boost features and simplify group management.

Listed here are the devices which are eligible for a Mesh Boost update -

• Cardo Venture
• Packtalk Pro
• Packtalk Pro 20 Years (RSD edition)
• Packtalk Edge / Ducati / Honda / Simpson / Louis
• Packtalk Edge ORV
• Packtalk Neo
• Packtalk Neo SE
• Packtalk Custom
• Packtalk-S
• HJC-Packtalk
• Packtalk Polaris Delta V
• 509 Mesh
• Ruroc
• Ruroc RG2

Both these Packtalk derivatives have slightly different software and features set. This means we need to develop a dedicated Mesh Boost release that is slightly different than our general one. Rest assured that these are not dramatically different than the current general release and should not take more than a few short months.

Yes. Mesh Boost requires both

• The latest compatible Cardo Connect app version (ver. 9.1 and above)
• A firmware update for your unit (ver. 5.4 and above)

You can check your model's compatibility on the Cardo website or verify that your unit was upgraded via the settings main screen – if updated, it will be indicated under your unit’s name.

No. Updating to Mesh Boost will delete all existing DMC groups on your device. Once updated, you will need to re-create your groups.

Public Mesh is the easiest way to start a DMC conversation. Simply meet and start talking with nearby Cardo users—no setup, pairing, or private group creation required. Once in Public Mesh and within range, communication starts automatically. It provides the full DMC experience, including support for up to 31 members, the same reliable range, and proven communication stability, while eliminating the need to create a group first.

Public Mesh lets you simply meet and start talking—no setup, pairing, or group creation required.

Open the Group List screen and select Public Mesh, which is pinned to the top of your screen.

No. Public Mesh is an open conversation. You'll only see one "Others" bubble on your group screen.

A self-created DMC group is better when you want to communicate only with your own friends/riding buddies and avoid joining conversations from nearby groups in crowded areas.

Yes. Simply follow the on-screen guidelines in your Cardo Connect App, or via your unit’s intercom button.

You can invite members via the Cardo Connect App, in one of 3 ways:

• Invitation Link
• QR Code
• Connect Nearby

Yes. Once you join or create a group, it becomes your active group and the DMC conversation starts automatically

Yes. Multiple groups can be stored in the app, allowing you to switch between them without recreating them.

In the My Group screen, the active group is marked in blue highlight and a green status indicator.

From the Group List screen, you can create a new group or join an existing one at any time.

From your Cardo Connect App, choose the option “Connect Nearby”, then instruct the non-Mesh Boost user to start grouping. Make sure you are both physically present on-site and close to each other when performing this process.

When creating a group directly from the device, the Mesh Boost user should be the first to start the grouping process by pressing the Intercom button.

Yes. We recommend that the Mesh Boost unit will be the initiator of the group, to enjoy the better experience. Here are the suggested steps:

• When using the Cardo Connect app, the Mesh Boost user should initiate "Create Group” using the “Connect Nearby” option
• When creating a group directly from the device, the Mesh Boost user should be the first to start the grouping process by pressing the Intercom button.

This helps ensure the group is created with Mesh Boost capabilities whenever possible and provides the best overall group experience.

Yes. When a group includes at least one non-Mesh Boost user:

• Group size is limited to 15 members
• Remote invitations are not available for non-Mesh Boost users
• Some Mesh Boost features may be unavailable
• For the best experience, the group should be created by a Mesh Boost user—either by initiating the group creation flow in the Cardo Connect app or by being the first user to start the grouping process from the device

You can leave a call using:

• The Cardo Connect app
• Voice commands, say “Hey Cardo, End Intercom”
• The device's Intercom button

Simply use the app, voice commands, or the Intercom button to rejoin your active group.

Private Chat allows you communicate privately with a specific member from your group while remaining part of that group’s conversation.

Yes. Bluetooth Bridge remains available, and Music Sharing can also be used within the group experience.

No. DMC communication works without internet access.

Internet is required for:

• App updates
• Firmware updates
• Remote Grouping invitations and acceptance

You can:

• Use DMC communication
• Use Public Mesh
• Create groups with nearby devices
• Invite new members to an existing group on-site
• Join or leave active calls
• Use Bluetooth Intercom or Bridge

Your unit firmware has not yet been upgraded.

Until the firmware update is completed, the Intercom section remains disabled

Yes. You can continue using the device and operate intercom functions directly from the unit, using the buttons.
