Icom IP100H Internet Protocol radio

The Icom IP100H is a licence-free radio that works over wireless LAN (local area networks) and IP networks. The radio offers secure conversation via WLAN security protocols. It is capable of building-wide communications but also has an internal antenna for short-range transmission.

The IP100H’s range is restricted only by the user’s IP network coverage. If connected over a VPN, Icom’s IP system expands communication to dispersed sites. Using Icom’s VE-PG3 RoIP gateway, the system can interconnect with IP phones as well as analog and IDAS digital transceivers and even smartphones.

The unit is lightweight, easy to handle and IPX7 rated. And when connected to a headset the IP100H is capable of hands-free, full duplex communication, which allows users to transmit/receive (talk/hear) concurrently.

The IP100H is suitable for organisations which, due to cost issues and a need for a relatively small coverage requirement, usually use licence-free radios. However, typical problems with this include: interference, lack of privacy, limited calling features and communication instability due to peer-to-peer communications in the busy shared band.

Because the IP100H uses wireless LAN protocol, issues such as interference, lack of privacy, limited calling features and communication instability due to peer-to-peer communications in the busy shared band are addressed, providing clear and stable communications as well as privacy.
