Icom IP501 Radio Communication Systems Enable Real-Time Communication Across the Moses Lake Airshow—from Dispatch to Direction
The 2025 Moses Lake Airshow at Grant County International Airport showcased not only aviation displays but also the critical role of reliable radio communication systems in high-traffic public events. These two-way radio systems remain vital tools for coordination, safety, and rapid response among event staff and emergency services.
Icom’s Territory Channel Manager, Tim Thometz, was at the show and explored how the IP501 radios supported operations across all teams at the Airshow, including the fire department, security, traffic control, and event staff. Users highlighted how these radio communication systems enabled fast, clear updates and coordination in moments where safety, direction, and responsiveness were essential. Team members emphasized ease of use, clarity of audio, and the importance of real-time updates made possible through the IP501 radio network, whether responding to emergencies or managing parking zones.
