New Cardo update expands group connectivity for PackTalk users
Wireless communication provider Cardo Systems recently announced a significant software update that expands group connectivity and functionality for its PackTalk users.
Named Mesh Boost, the new update increases the Dynamic Mesh Communication (DMC) group capacity to 31 riders and passengers. The update also introduces two new capabilities: public mesh and remote grouping functionality.
This update is free and delivered over the air through the Cardo Connect app for all 2nd-generation PackTalk devices. The new expanded Mesh is also compatible with previous PackTalk generations. Cardo says the older devices will still be able to connect to Mesh Boost-powered users but can’t access the Mesh Boost capabilities on their own device.
“Mesh Boost has always been about making group communication simpler and more capable,” says Dan Emodi, Cardo chief marketing officer.
Cardo says its DMC creates a self-healing, self-adjusting mesh network that enables seamless, full-duplex intercom between multiple riders. The network automatically adapts as riders join, leave, or move out of range, without the need for manual re-pairing.
Additionally, Cardo’s remote grouping can be set up ahead of group meet-ups by sharing a link within the Cardo Connect app. Once in range, devices automatically connect to the Dynamic Mesh.
The Mesh Boost software update will be available for free from the Cardo Connect App for all eligible second-generation DMC devices, including PackTalk, Pro, Edge and Neo. does not cover Harley-Davidson and Schuberth’s SC-Edge units. These are expected to get their own Mesh Boost release in Q4 of 2026.
