Icom’s Innovative Radio Solutions for School Safety

Schools run on a schedule with. Many people coming in going and moving about each day. Effective radio communications help things run smoothly. During routine times, and when those unexpected emergencies hit. Push to talk one to many communications and serves no one is left out of the loop, and the right people can respond to any situation easily. However, providing a radio system that satisfies everyone's needs can prove to be challenging. A mountainous train like this makes it difficult for buses to stay connected. A traditional two way radio system likely has RF shadows and dead spots throughout the bus routes. Many repeaters, each needing a sight connectivity and maintenance would have to be in place. With excellent cell coverage throughout the district's bus routes, Icom's IP five zero one h LTE radio is a great choice. Using existing cellular networks, it demands only minimal maintenance and that of the radio itself. The IP five zero one comes in a handheld, such as this, bore in a mobile format that's easily mounted in buses. Inside buildings, communications can be difficult. Due to the RF blocking nature of glass and metal constructions of the schools. Fortunately, With ample Wi Fi coverage within the school, any RF dead spot can be easily overcome by adding an access point just where they're needed. Icom's handheld, the IP one ten w LAN radio, operates on the Wi Fi system. So anywhere there's wifi, there's push to talk available. This school has a large campus with parking in both ends of the school and even underneath it. There are softball, baseball, tennis, football, and track fields all around it. There's plenty of activity and a lot of grounds to keep up. Of course, an LTE radio could satisfy the communication needs of the campus, but there's another solution. A traditional Icom IdIS digital two way radio system using the compact f sixty two d, for example. This would give those operating on the campus a solid push to talk solution and no recurring costs. Icom also has a hybrid LTE UHF or LTE VHF radio called the IP seven thirty or seven forty. For those that routinely talk to both the LTE radios and to the campus, UHF or VHF radios. Some activities such as community meetings and sporting or performance events, only require a very local communications and may have many people at different times using a radio. Icom has a solution for that as well. The f two hundred, a basic analog professional grade radio, can cost effectively put a radio in the hands of the people at the theater are on the ball field. The f two hundred is also well suited for elementary school teachers and staff. From teachers and staff handling routine issues, and extracurricular volunteers ensuring events run smoothly to custodians, coordinating repairs, and buses going on field trips. It's clear. One solution does not fit all. Allowing these various groups to have their own radio solution suited to their needs, while still being able to connect with one another and an emergency is not out of reach. Icom's connect gateway provides exactly that function. When the time comes for one group to talk to another, be it the LTE five zero one h the Wi Fi powered IP one ten, a digital Idis f sixty two d, or the analog f two hundred. Icom's connect gateway makes it happen. Along with that, Icom has a range of computer based mapping, dispatch packages, that enable yet another level of interconnectivity.
