Main Benefits of Icom's LTE/PoC Two Way Radio Solution
Icom has been delivering two-way radio solutions to highway maintenance authorities and contractors for many years. A recent development in its product range has been the launch of its LTE/PoC two-way radio product range that provide highway organisations and their contractors with many benefits. These include providing full duplex long-range communication using the 4G LTE network with excellent sound quality and Health & Safety functions such as Man down and lone worker which are especially important for working in this hazardous environment. Another benefit of Icom's LTE/PoC radio solution is that it is licence free and requires no infrastructure investment. The system is incredibly simple so the system can be easily deployed to other sites/projects wherever you are in the country. There is no need to invest in repeaters, cabling or radio programming.LTE/PoC Two Way Radio Solutions for Highway Maintenance
A variety of LTE/PoC radio products are available in the Icom range from the Icom IP503H radio handset to mobile units such as the IP501M which can be installed in a vehicle or set up as a base unit in a control room. Each product provides wide-area communication using the 4G/LTE and 3G networks. The system allows you to make individual and group calls in the same manner as a conventional two-way radio allowing contractors or staff to communicate within their groups and cross-communicate across an extended team. There is even a hybrid radio called the IP730D that can provide nationwide coverage over LTE networks but also provides conventional VHF/UHF professional radio mode (Digital/Analogue radio modes) to work locally, an ideal addition for an organisation working on highways and large infrastructure projects. Also available is a dispatch manager called RMS-IP which allows you to monitor your team and keep in touch with your team via a PC/laptop, tablet, or smartphone (via an App). Many of the benefits of this product includes GPS tracking, voice recording, emergency alerts, the ability to send and receive text & voice messages, log call traffic & GPS history and security features such as geo-fencing.In summary, Icom LTE/PoC two-way radios provide the following:
