Mesh network

Talk headset to headset. No radio, no tower.

Headset Mesh carries its own sub-1GHz radio. Every headset on the network relays for the others, so the crew stays connected when one link drops.

Range Up to 3km open, 300m urban Up to 3km in open country and 300m between buildings. The network covers the ground your crew does.
Encryption AES 128 or 256 Pick the level you need. Traffic between headsets stays private.
Adaptive power 125mW to 2W Power steps up with distance and down when you are close, so range and battery both last.
Capacity 16 channels Four people can talk at once on each channel, and anyone can listen. 64 voices across the network.
Self-healing Up to 30% degradation When a link weakens or drops, traffic reroutes through the nearest headset. Nobody has to reset anything.
Sub-1GHz US 915MHz, EU 433MHz Low frequency travels through trees, walls and weather better than 2.4GHz. OPUS keeps voice clear at low bitrates.
Hear it first

You cannot judge noise cancellation from a spec sheet.

One recording, two ways: the raw camera audio, then what the headset captured.

Same recording, same microphone, cancellation off and on. Use headphones.

Noise cancellation

Three layers of silence.

Each layer handles what the others cannot. Then we put it on the same rig as the headsets you know, and every number comes off the curve.

Active Noise Cancellation

Microphones detect background noise and the headset generates opposing sound waves to cancel it. Most effective against the steady low and mid frequency noise of cockpits, industrial sites and cities.

Combined on this model -24dB
Voice activity detection

Talk and it transmits. Noise does not.

Intelligent VOX keys your radio when you speak, hands-free, and keeps it shut when you do not. MLVAD, on the headset, decides what counts as a voice.

How a hands-free transmission works

  1. Line drawing of a person speaking into a QHR boom mic 1
    You speak
    The boom mic hears everything around you: your voice, the engine, the wind, the crew.
  2. A chainsaw, a siren and a pistol feeding the QHR chip, with only a voice signal reaching the headset 2
    It checks every sound
    Before anything is sent, MLVAD decides whether each moment of sound is a human voice. Saws, sirens and gunshots are flagged as noise.
  3. Noise and voice entering the QHR chip, with clean voice coming out 3
    Only your voice goes out
    Intelligent VOX keys the radio on a confirmed voice, and environmental noise cancellation strips the background from what you send. A tone marks the start and end of each transmission.
  • Hands-free Triple-click PTT to turn Intelligent VOX on or off. A voice prompt confirms which.
  • Push to talk Hold PTT to transmit, let go to stop. For when you want the button.
  • On every model Push to talk and Intelligent VOX come on every headset. MLVAD comes on Headset Pro and Headset Mesh. Headset and Headset Tactical use voice activity detection.

Voice activity detection accuracy
  1. Voice: transmitSpeech thresholdBackground noise: ignoredBackground noise: ignoredSound energy over time
    1 Acoustic analysisSignal processing
    Measures every moment of sound against a profile of the background. When energy rises in the bands where speech lives, it flags a possible voice. Fast on steady noise: engines, rotors, wind.
  2. Noise frames scored at 45 and 82 percent are rejected, a voice frame scored at 95 percent voice confidence is accepted
    2 Deep learningNeural network
    A trained neural network scores each slice of sound for how much it sounds like a human voice. It catches the sudden noise the first stage cannot: sirens, impulse, saws, crowds.
  3. Your voice 95% Transmits

    A confident voice keys the radio, and ENC strips the background from what you send. Everything else stays off the air.

Mounting

Wear it the way you work.

QHR fits 3M® Peltor®-style mounts, so it clips onto the helmets and hard hats crews already wear. Prefer a dedicated mount? Pick a headband, ARC rail, COM RAC or hard hat mount.

Headband mount
Headband

Standard over-the-head band. Wear alone or under a helmet. Lightweight and built to stay secure through a full day, and the default for anyone not working in a helmet.

Camera capture

Record every detail, exactly as you hear it.

The 3.5mm audio out sends everything the headset hears straight to your action camera. Radio traffic, phone calls and Bluetooth® audio are mixed together, so your footage carries audio that matches the visuals.

QHR Headset Pro with two radios and an action camera

Headset Mesh, two radio ports: two radios and a camera on one headset.

Plug a camera into the headset and it records what you hear: your voice, the radio traffic and the call, clean of the noise around you.

Any camera with a 3.5mm mic input works.

Tested with
  • GoPro
  • DJI Osmo Action
  • Insta360

Note: Works best with OEM camera audio adapters.
