Alster Communications is excited to announce our partnership with ICOM America.

Icom America was founded in 1979. The land mobile communications industry is vast, covering everything from military and public safety radios to everyday business two-way equipment like you’d find in a retail store. Icom America’s land mobile division is its youngest – and its largest.

Icom is deeply committed to P25, the North American digital standard for public safety communications interoperability. Icom’s latest P25 radios now offers 7/800 MHz, P25 trunking, bringing more functionality to this growing product line.

Icom is also devoted to IDAS™, its analog + digital line of land mobile radio equipment. IDAS™ uses the NXDN™ protocol to bring next-generation digital capabilities to the industry, all while retaining analog legacy performance. IDAS™ is all about making today’s radios more functional–all at a better value than ever before.

ICOM LTE Radio Solutions

Communicate far and wide with LTE-CONNECT, Icom’s LTE radio solution. Using 4G and 3G networks, both the IP501H handheld and IP501M mobile allows for instantaneous push-to-talk communications throughout North America. The IP501’s are LTE radios, which provides telephone style conversations, packed with conventional two-way radio features. Multiple users can communicate at the same time with features like Individual, Group and All calls. These license-free radios do not require their own repeater or IP network. LTE-CONNECT operates on an Icom controlled, private and secure network. These new LTE radio solutions are perfect for those safety and security teams in need of simple, yet wide-area communication solutions.
