RDI offers a Bluetooth® smart version manufactured by Herga Technology, Ltd. with a “closed network” that eliminates potential interference with other Bluetooth devices. In addition, to the closed network, these transmitters are low energy, which means they don’t have to constantly be charged or hooked up to a charging station. Just replace the two AA batteries when the low battery light indicates it’s time to replace the batteries and you’re ready to go again. The Bluetooth pedals are offered in Single, Double & Triple, and Multi-pedal options and the Receiver can be embedded into your application or housed in a plug and play dongle.
