Icom expands IDAS Product Range with New IC-F3102D Entry Level Digital Handportable Series

Designed for all business sectors, the new IDAS IC-F3102D compact, easy-to-use handportable series is ideal for customers who are looking for a easy to use radio, yet want to benefit from the many advantages that digital radio has to offer. This new radio series is part of the IDAS digital radio system that offers outstanding communication quality, security and coverage as well as 6.25kHz channel spacing which can allow twice the amount of users on the radio spectrum.

The new IC-F3102D series features digital/analogue mixed mode operation which means that users can receive both analogue and digital mode signals on a single channel. Mixed mode operation is a benefit for the business customer as it can extend the working life of an existing system but provide future proofing, an important consideration in the current economic climate.

This new radio series can be used in a conventional digital mode without the need of a digital radio repeater. This helps make IDAS a more affordable, solution for many smaller companies. The series is also capable of featuring in a single-site trunked system solution.

Designed to be easily carried and used, the new IC-F3102D series features a small, lightweight body and simple operation. Additional radio features include group and individual call, enhanced audio, 16 memory channels and audio channel announcement.

Ian Lockyer, Marketing Manager of Icom UK Ltd said, ’The IC-F3102D handportable series offers outstanding audio quality, high performance, strong commercial build at a competitive price. It also provides simple operation without the complexity of larger, high-end digital models which will benefit a lot of business users who want a practical radio communication solution.’

He added, ’We can see lots of application where this radio will improve people’s communications without the size and weight of many other bulkier radios.’

Icom’s IDAS (Icom Digital Advanced System) private mobile radio system is based on the NXDN 6.25kHz very narrowband common air interface technology. IDAS occupies only 6.25kHz spectrum per channel, while providing enhanced IDAS feature sets and data capabilities.
