Up to 16 IDAS repeaters can be interlinked with each other with the optional UC-FR5000. An IDAS terminal radio user can communicate with other IDAS terminal radio users belonging to the interlinked repeater sites and/or a virtual dispatch station on the network.
Icom has made it straightforward to introduce and install an IDAS conventional IP network system. The IDAS conventional IP network system requires only the UC-FR5000 network controller which can be installed into the IC-FR5000 series repeater, so no control server and no extra rack space is required. In addition, the repeater and network controller settings can be remotely maintained and monitored over an IP connected PC.
The remote communicator creates an IP-based virtual radio on a PC and works as a simple dispatch. IDAS communication features can also be used with the remote communicator software. Up to 8 target IDAS repeater sites* can be programmable in the software and eight remote communicators can connect to a single repeater.
Ian Lockyer, Marketing Manager of Icom UK Ltd said, ’The new IDAS network controller and remote communicator are just part of a rapidly expanding and comprehensive range of DPMR and PMR solutions for business customers.’
*The RC-FS10 software can transmit one voice path at a time. One CT-24 is required for receiving an IDAS repeater site and up to 8 repeater sites can be monitored simultaneously with 8 CT-24s.
