With the introduction of Icom CONNECT, the archaic and fragmented systems of school communication are undergoing a transformation. This innovation not only streamlines internal dialogue but also promotes safety, ensuring that every message, from everyday updates to crucial alerts, reaches its intended audience efficiently.

“Icom is revolutionizing school communication for a safer and more efficient learning environment with their Icom CONNECT wheel. When a school pursues safety and efficiency, school communication can become diverse and fragmented. For instance, during emergencies or when important updates are needed, the staff must physically go out to the practice field wasting valuable time and resources. Icom’s CONNECT solution offers to solve this problem by interconnecting different radio types into a single seamless communication network.

Their solution allows teachers to easily contact custodians using phones, ensuring a swift response to maintenance and facility issues. Icom CONNECT also allows phones to seamlessly communicate with radios, avoiding the need to equip every teacher with the radio. It will also allow for school staff and bus drivers to communicate directly, ensuring smooth arrivals and departures. Icom CONNECT offers a versatile and seamless line communication between administrators, coaches, teachers, janitors, school districts, and public safety agencies to achieve a safer learning environment for any school.”
