Icom Extends Radio Coverage With the IDASConventional IP Network 

Conventional radio meets theInternet in Icom’s newest brainchild, theIDAS (Icom Digital Advanced System)Conventional IP Network system. Theresult is a powerful tool allowing opera-tors to extend coverage well beyond thecurrent reach of their repeater networkwhether it’s just a few miles or all the wayacross the country.

Users will nd IDAS useful for a varietyof scenarios, including an affordable linkfor multiple repeaters. Using an internetconnection, a dispatcher can easily con- 

nect up to 16 repeaters regardless oftheir physical location as long as they areconnected to the Internet with a uniqueIP address. Dispatchers can create

Dispatch from Anywhere Via the IDASTM

Remote Communicator

Turn your computer into a dispatch 

radio with the IDAS RemoteCommunicator (RC-FS10). IDAS RemoteCommunicator creates an IP-based vir-tual radio on a Windows PC with basicconsole functions and repeater controlvia the communicator software.

Great for traveling personnel thatare out of traditional radio contact, thissystem allows users to tap into yoursystem while away from the ofce. Allthat’s required is an Internet connectionand the Remote Communicator set toa target repeater’s IP address for voiceuplink to the network.

In base mode operation—used incases where communications be-tween terminals is not intended—IDAS 

uplinked voice from IDAS radios can 

be directed to the assigned virtual radiodispatcher and will not be repeated to 

other IDAS terminals. The uplink from 

the dispatcher can then be downlinkedfrom IDAS repeaters.

In addition to IP multisite dispaIDAS Remote Communicator allowsto dispatch for multiple systems opeaters; up to eight IDAS target repesites can be linked. And a total of eRemote Communicators can conneeach repeater, ensuring the eld fornever out of touch with each repeate

The CT-24 digital voice converter(included in package) with ESN foridentication creates the voice path, multiple down-link voice streams different networks received. And IcoSM-25 desktop microphone with a ralike PTT button—compatible withoptional CT-23—is easily transportedset-up for virtual dispatcher operatiodesired, PC headsets and microphcan also be used, with PTT enabled button on the computer screen.

ianewsIcom America is Proud to Announce the Relea

of the CY-5000 Digital Series Repeater for th

Business and Industrial Market

The CY-5000 is a fully self-containedanalog + IDAS™ digital repeater. Theproduct is desktop or 19-inch rackmountable, featuring a built-in powersupply with battery backup and chargingcapabilities. Duplexers and pre-selectorsare included in their respective versions.

“The CY Series is built upon our 3RUuniversal chassis, which has been in themarketplace for about ve years. It has

been widely accepted as a very reliable,self-contained, all-in-one unit,” saidDick Varbero of Icom America Systems.“This allows for ancillary componentsto be included inside that are typicallymounted outside of the chassis, thussaving expensive rack space.” The unit isdesigned for “plug-and-play” operationfor easy installation and deployment.

Using auto-sensing capability, the 50-watt output repeater transitions easilybetween repeating radio transmissions

utilizing legacy 25 kHz or 12.5 kHzanalog signals and IDAS digital signals.IDAS uses NXDN™ digital protocol signals across 6.25 kHz channels.

IDAS makes advanced calling featurespossible, including selective calling, status message, radio stun/kill/reviveand GPS position reporting.

 A typical installation includes a eet ofvehicles with legacy analog subscriberunits. The IDAS system is ideal for busi-ness and industry users who want tomigrate to a digital system or the future

“Our CY-Series repeaters

 process both analog AND

digital transmissions,

 giving Icom a huge advantage.

“Other manufacturers repeaters

transmit either analog or digital,

 but not both.” – Dick Varbero

FCC mandated narrowband spacintheir own pace.

“Our existing legacy customers wto upgrade their repeater infrastructo support both analog and digital

for forward migration to 12.5 kHz rowband or 6.25 kHz very narrowbchannels,” Varbero said. “Some uwon’t have the funds to upgrade portables and mobiles to digital aonce, so they want to continue tothe most life expectancy out of current analog radios. This auto-sentechnology affords these customescalable, smooth transition roadmap

The new generation of subscunits from Icom also feature auto-senbetween digital and analog sigdigital radios can not only communwith other digital units, but are also to communicate with the legacy raon the system.

Scott Bigger has a big job as

Icom’s IAS Operations Supervisor.

Not only does he oversee the day

to day technical production of

off-the-shelf and built systems, but

 he also provides technical support

 and system designs.

Scott works tirelessly with dealers

to provide key technical assistancewhen they need it – this includes as

 many trips as needed to work on

customer’s systems projects until

they are working smoothly.

“The most rewarding aspect of

this job is being involved in the

 intricacies of many different system

designs – each is unique in its own

way and presents a challenge for

us,” Scott related. “Supervising a

team of extremely knowledgeable

 and experienced technical staff also

 helps in a big way.” 

Scott would also like you to knowthat we complete systems to your

customer’s requirements… spread

the word!

New 100W IDAS™ Repeater Allows Easy,

High-Powered Migration from Analog to

Digital Radio System

Icom America is pleased to announce 

the development of the IAS 100D 

Digital Series for the business and 

industrial markets.

The IAS 100D Digital Series is arepeater that brings higher power andincreased duty cycle to IDAS, Icom’sdigital land mobile radio system usingthe NXDN™ 6.25 kHz very narrowbandcommon air interface technology.

“There are a number of vertical mar-kets with end users that have 100 wattlicenses,” said Dick Varbero, “Businessand industrial market users that require high power requirements includesuch entities as hospitals, schools and

taxicab companies.”

The IAS 100D Digital Series receivesand re-broadcasts both legacy analogand digital signals on a single channel.This allows the user to move forward withdigital 6.25 kHz very narrowband, while stillserving the existing legacy analog radios intheir system. The migration to digital verynarrowband can therefore be scalable toeach user’s pace and requirement.

The IDAS system occupies only kHz spectrum per channel, while viding for enhanced IDAS feature and data capabilities The IDAS sysuses the AMBE+2™ codec, wprovides clear audio and simultanedata capabilities.

The IAS 100D Digital Series decomultiple CTCSS and DTCS as wedigital RAN (Radio Access Numcodes on a per channel basis (up ttones/codes) and downlinks the recesignal with a specied tone/code. function is useful for sharing a chawith multiple groups and provides qstand-by while using other groups.
