IDAS, A wealth of two way digital radio choices for your business!

If you are looking for a two way radio solution for your business, you could be excused for being confused about the multitude of systems and applications out in the marketplace. Here at Icom UK we try to make things simple for our customers and with an industry leading reputation for customer service and support, we are confident we can find a solution for you.

Our digital umbrella brand called IDAS offers a variety of digital systems, from simple back to back digital radio systems suitable for a single building featuring handportable radios, to more sophisticated single site trunking systems allowing multiple staff to communicate over a wide area within their own groups and cross communicate with extended management teams. And for those organisations looking for a sophisticated multisite system, Icom now offer dPMR Mode 3 . Digital technology is becoming the ‘must have’ in two way radio comms today. If you are upgrading you will benefit from the advantages and new features that digital can bring.

Features such as:
• Outstanding audio
• Superb noise cancelling properties
• Enhanced security
• Up to twice the number or users on a system.

And to help you move forward at a managed pace, IDAS radios are compatible with your existing analogue radios. IDAS radios can receive both analogue and digital modes on a single channel. Mixed mode operation is a real benefit as there is not the need to buy a complete radio system outright, an important consideration in the current economic climate. This can help in budgeting the transition from an older analogue system to a digital one.

• Simple two way digital radio system (Licence Free)
• Licensed back to back digital radio systems
• Security/Facility Management digital radio systems with a full level of reporting.
• Digital single site radio systems with repeaters for extended coverage.

Digital Single Site radio systems with repeaters for extended coverage
Moving towards a more sophisticated solution for coverage over a wider local area we recommend an IDAS system that utilises handheld two way radios, mobiles and digital radio repeaters to boost coverage. This system may also be suitable for enhancing coverage in high density environments such as shopping centres.

For organisations which require a digital multisite system or digital trunked system, Icom and Fylde Micro have developed a sophisticated digital trunked network system featuring Icom IDAS digital radio and repeaters together with the Fylde MultiLingo controller.
