Discover how Icom PoC radios can bring your team together
For any team, clear communication is crucial for working together and achieving shared goals. You need a radio system you can depend on daily, in varied situations and environments. That’s where Icom PoC radios come in.
Using the latest push-to-talk over cellular technology, Icom’s radio handsets are a popular alternative to conventional PMR systems. Watch the video below for a preview of their exciting features and outstanding performance.
Key Features
-
Instant communication with cellular technology
Icom PoC handsets operate on mobile cellular technology, just like the phones we all carry every day. As they use nationwide 3G, 4G/LTE networks, Icom PoC radios allow you to talk across longer distances than standard PMR handsets. They will always connect to the strongest local signal.
The Icom PoC radio system enables you to engage in group calls with multiple users at the same time, with the freedom to interrupt on-going calls with emergency messages as needed. There is no need for repeaters, which eliminates the need to construct and maintain wide area networks when establishing nationwide coverage.
- Coordinate teams and stay in contact across the country with licence-free coverage
- No need to set up a dedicated infrastructure, making for a more cost-effective option than alternatives
- Full-duplex communication for fast, smooth, interference-free communication
-
User-friendly push-to-talk operation
In any situation, a radio handset should be easy to operate for users of all experience levels. But that’s particularly important in emergencies: users may be experiencing shock, juggling multiple tasks, or in a hostile environment (possibly all three).
That can make handling a complicated device more difficult than it would be otherwise. But Icom push-to-talk over cellular radios are straightforward and convenient to use.
- Initiate and join conversations with a quick button press
- Communicate instantly, whether calling for help, updating others on a situation, or passing on key information
- Full duplex system allows users to speak and hear at the same time
-
Real-time communication monitoring
The Icom PoC radio system’s RMS-IP LTE Dispatcher allows a controller to monitor communications across your network in real-time. This allows dispatchers to interact with radio users seamlessly from a computer or mobile device, with automatic recording and GPS logs for future reference. The RMS-IP LTE Dispatcher also includes emergency alarms and geo-fencing, and requires no licensing keys for use on PC.
-
Communicate throughout Europe
Icom push-to-talk over cellular radios, such as the IP503H, include a SIM card. This is capable of roaming across Europe as standard, ideal for organisations dealing with personnel in multiple countries.
- Roaming in Europe available at no extra cost
- Users can stay connected to their teams and updated on current activities wherever they go in Europe
-
IP ratings for your peace of mind
Ingress Protection (IP) ratings are a major benefit when looking to hire or buy radios. You can rest assured that handsets will stay safe when exposed to water, dust, and more.
Icom PoC radios, such as the IP503H, carry IP67 ratings for their waterproof and dust-resistant construction.
- IP67 rating ensures handsets remain waterproof when submerged at depths of up to 1m for as long as 30 minutes
- Handsets with an IP67 rating are dust-tight to protect internal components in dusty settings
Why you should choose Icom PoC radios
Here are four reasons why the Icom PoC radio system could be the right choice for your organisation:
- Communicate across long distances with licence-free nationwide coverage. Organisations with teams working on multiple sites can remain in contact throughout the country (and even in Europe, thanks to the SIM card).
- Even if conventional radio systems are too expensive or unviable in some areas or situations, PoC radios empower your team to communicate instantly.
- High-quality, crisp communication using 3G and 4G/LTE networks. Don’t worry about losing connections due to high structures and other line-of-sight obstructions that can be an issue with conventional radios.
- Sturdy construction and user-friendly operation to suit users in a wide range of environments and situations. There’s no need to remember phone numbers or look up contacts — just start talking at the touch of a button.
