Icom’s IP100H WLAN and IP network radio

Icom’s IP100H WLAN or IP radio is a compact, yet powerful device. Measuring only 95 mm high (~3.7 inches) and weighing 205 grams, the IP100H is one of the smallest professional radios on the market.

The IP100H WLAN or IP radio bridges the gap between license-free and licensed radio devices through the use of standard WLAN networking products as infrastructure.

The system uses the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n standard and as such, requires no licensing. Furthermore, the system is easy to connect to an existing wireless network and allows full duplex communication with reliable sound quality. And because communications are distributed across WLAN access points in an IP network, the system is easy to expand. Handsets communicate via the use of a IP1000C controller that connects to the wireless network and allows grouped users to hear and talk with each other.

Individual calls are also possible. For those users requiring a more flexible solution, full duplex communication (as with a regular telephone) is possible providing the function has been enabled in the IP1000C controller and the IP100H handset is connected to a headset. Other handy features include: • Up to 27 hours operation with standard BP-271 • High security with encrypted communication* (*AES Encryption) • Vibration function for incoming calls • Waterproof in accordance with IPX7 Versatility The IP100H is ideal for use in many settings, including: • Large Stadiums • Hotels/Museums • Shopping Malls/Department Stores • Security/Guards • Hospitals/Care facilities License-free radio for wireless networks (WLAN)

The system is easy to connect to an existing wireless network and allows full duplex communication with reliable sound quality. Icom’s new WLAN-based radio system offers scalable, license-free communication that uses standardized wireless network products as infrastructure. In many cases, the infrastructure may already be in place.

Scalable system Communications are distributed across WLAN access points in an IP network which makes it easy to expand the system. Secure encrypted communication The wireless security protocols WPAPSK and WPA-PSK2 encrypt the calls. Simultaneous use Many users in the system can transmit simultaneously. When a headset is connected to the IP100H, users can talk concurrently in full duplex – similar to talking on a regular telephone. Localization of users IP100FS software can connect to the network and be used as a fixed radio.

It can call a user, send a message and can easily see which access point each user is connected to. Easy maintenance Most programming takes place wirelessly over the network eliminating the need to gather all radios every time a change is made. Reliable sound quality Since communication over a WLAN offers a wider frequency bandwidth and QoS priority packet delivery, the sound quality is higher than in a traditional radio communication system and is comparable to regular telephone communication.
