Icom Unveils the IP510H LTE/Wi-Fi Hybrid Transceiver

We are pleased to announce the launch of the IP510H LTE/Wi-Fi Hybrid Handheld Transceiver, an innovative device designed to provide seamless and reliable communication across various environments. This compact and lightweight transceiver is an all-in-one solution that automatically switches between nationwide 4G LTE networks and local Wi-Fi networks, ensuring continuous connectivity even in areas where LTE signals are weak or non-existent.

The IP510H is a game-changer for industries that require robust communication both in and outdoors. Its hybrid functionality makes it particularly useful in environments such as:

• Large industrial sites and factories - Where thick walls and metal structures can obstruct cellular signals, the IP510H can seamlessly switch to the facility's private Wi-Fi network, maintaining clear communication for safety and efficiency.

• Logistics and warehousing - Staff can communicate across warehouses using the internal Wi-Fi and then transition to the LTE network for communications off-site, all with a single device.

• Underground infrastructure - Ideal for use in mines, tunnels, and underground networks, where 4G LTE signals cannot penetrate. The IP510H allows for continuous communication via the dedicated Wi-Fi network, crucial for safety and operational coordination.

• Campus environments - Universities, hospitals, or a large corporate campus can use the IP510H to provide consistent communication as personnel move between buildings and outdoor areas.

• Security and event management - Security teams can stay connected across wide-area events using the LTE network and then switch to an on-site Wi-Fi for improved reliability where the LTE signal might be minimal.

The IP510H provides a host of benefits that go beyond basic communication:

• Increased safety and security - With features like an emergency button, Man Down, and Lone Worker functions, this device automatically sends alerts to a dispatcher or colleague in case of an incident, protecting employees in potentially hazardous situations.

• Enhanced operational efficiency - The "Simultaneous TalkListen" full-duplex function allows for telephone-style conversations, enabling natural and efficient communication within teams. The ability to record and playback up to 10 audio clips also ensures no vital information is missed.

• Cost-effective and scalable - By using existing Wi-Fi infrastructure businesses can reduce the need for expensive, dedicated radio systems and licences for indoor communication. The device's compatibility with a wide range of Icom products and the VE-PG4 RoIP gateway also allows for easy integration with existing systems and future expansion.

• Ease of use - The IP510H has built-in Bluetooth providing greater freedom for users on the move. USB Type-C™ charging and the ability to swap batteries without powering down the device further streamline operations.

• Durability and reliability - With an IP67 dust-tight and waterproof rating, the IP510H is built to withstand harsh working conditions, ensuring reliable performance even in challenging outdoor environments.

As you can see, this innovative, versatile LTE/Wi-Fi transceiver can be a single solution where organisation may have had to look traditionally for multiple devices.

We have added a dedicated video about this product to our YouTube channel, along with an explanation of one of its features: Simultaneous TalkListen.
