普象-让好设计发光

Outdoor sports such as cycling, surfing, paddleboarding or skiing can make it difficult to communicate over a long distance, particularly if you have not got your hands free to use other aids. Milo has a straightforward solution for such situations: a small, droplet-shaped device that can be attached to clothing with the help of a magnetic clip and can then be paired with other devices to create a standalone network which allows users to communicate without having to press a single bu-tton. Groups of people can hold spontaneous natural conversations in real time thanks to multiway transmission. This is made possible by sophisticated audio processing algorithms that every Milo device combines with six integrated digital microphones and a special built-in speaker to deliver a clear audio signal even in windy or noisy conditions. The range between devices exceeds 1,000 metres, and the encrypted MiloNet mesh network extends this range even further if users are at a greater distance from each other. The device can be operated with only a few, well-placed bu-ttons, for instance to pair devices or activate the mute function. If desired, Milo can also be paired with a Bluetooth headset, and it is waterproof

Milo impressively demonstrates how the combination of innovative technical features and simple operation improves everyday sports and life and makes both safer. Milo is a successful, contemporary interpretation of the walkie-talkie. With its pared-back appearance, it conveys simplicity and delivers on it in every respect with its robust properties and intuitive use.
