In an increasingly interconnected world, the enduring value of radio communications cannot be understated. Radios can be a lifeline during outdoor adventures, on-site business operations, or even in emergency situations. Leading the charge in this field is Icom, a globally recognized manufacturer of wireless communication products. While technology continues to advance, Icom has demonstrated their adaptability, evolving to meet the needs of a diverse customer base while maintaining focus on user convenience, robustness, and elimination of licensing fees. From the compact yet powerful IP110H to the versatile IC-F7520 to the highly durable V10MR, Icom caters to every unique user requirement. Here, three members of the Icom team discuss what they love about some of their favorite Icom products. Here’s Mark Jordan, Senior Sales Manager of Land Mobile, Jon Paul Beauchamp, Senior Manager of Business Development and Kevin Macareg, Marketing Coordinator, to share their experiences.

The Icom Team’s Thoughts:

Mark Jordan: My favorite radio right now is the IP110H.

Jon Paul Beauchamp: My favorite radio is, it’s the Icom IC-F7520.

Kevin Macareg: My favorite Icom radio would probably have to be the V10MR.

Mark Jordan: It’s tiny, but mighty. It doesn’t require licensing. And if you can get it on the network in any place with WiFi, it can give you complete coverage.

Jon Paul Beauchamp: Conveniently for all of us, it is indeed an Icom radio, a mobile P25 radio that I have installed in my vehicle in two parts, a command mic and a rear-mounted control head. A command mic at the front of the radio sits conveniently inside the center console of my vehicle, allowing me to have easy access to all of the controls of the radio. At the rear of the SUV is a second command center, or control head, for the radio. It allows me to change the channel and hear every bit of radio traffic from the rear of the SUV.

Kevin Macareg: You don’t need a license to operate the radio, so no additional fees. And it’s great for businesseses or personal use, and I’ve used mine for hiking, camping, and off-roading. And what’s great about the radio is the durability. We actually tested the radio, a recorded video of us driving it over with a car, dropping in a river, and tossing it down a flight of stairs, and it still works good as new.

Vantage’s 1.4GW Texas campus makes grid contracts the real data center schedule

Vantage’s 1.4GW Texas campus makes grid contracts the real data center schedule

Vantage Data Centers is targeting a 1.4GW “Frontier” campus in Texas, with first delivery slated for H2 2026. Power procurement and cooling design land first on operators. Emissions accounting follows, alongside carbon-removal contracting.

  • 01For large AI campuses, the interconnect and power-delivery agreement is becoming the long pole, it now sets when IT can arrive.
  • 02Carbon-removal offtake is shifting from pilot-scale buys to 8–10 year contracts that support final investment decisions, useful for sustainability procurement playbooks.
  • 03250kW-plus racks and liquid cooling are moving from special requests to baseline specs for new AI capacity, changing mechanical and service vendor selection.

Dreamforce 2026 goes all-in on AI agents, but ROI numbers are still missing

Pre-event materials cited include no customer-reported ROI, adoption metrics, or cost-to-run figures for Agentforce. The main keynote is Sept. 15, 2026. UC Today says Dreamforce runs Sept. 15-17 at Moscone, with a free Salesforce+ virtual program Sept. 15-18.

  • 01The sources set an expectation gap: Dreamforce 2026 messaging leans on “agentic” adoption, but the pre-event materials cited here include no customer ROI figures or cost-to-run numbers for Agentforce, so procurement and operations teams should arrive with measurement and cost-accounting questions ready (per UC Today).
  • 02UC Today lists Dreamforce 2026’s published scale as 1,600+ breakout sessions, 50+ keynotes, 150+ hands-on trainings and demos, and 240+ community roundtables, plus one-to-one sessions with Agentforce and Slack product experts.
  • 03The pass price gap, $1,899 “Last Chance” vs $2,299 full price, is a practical benchmark for budgeting onsite attendance against free Salesforce+ virtual access (per UC Today).

AI could raise enterprise IT costs by as much as 75% in less than a decade

AI could raise enterprise IT costs by as much as 75% in less than a decade

Bain & Company projects AI could raise enterprise IT costs by as much as 75% in less than a decade. Procurement and IT teams will feel it first. The impact shows up in vendor contracts, capacity planning, and governance workflows.

  • 01A 75% IT cost lift is no longer a scare number, it is becoming a budgeting baseline once security, data movement, and talent are counted (Bain via CIO Dive).
  • 02For firms standardizing on AI agents, contract language is shifting toward reliability and control artifacts, not model brand names (KPMG certification coverage via CIO Dive).
  • 03Infrastructure availability is turning into a scheduling problem, not a procurement event, with Dell citing a $95B AI backlog that can push deployments into future quarters (CIO).
