IDAS

Digital / Analog mixed mode operation

IDAS™ radios can receive both analog mode and digital mode signals on a single channel.

You can partially introduce the IDAS™ radios while using your existing analog radios in a system.

The IDAS™ system allows you to scale migration to narrow band digital at your own pace and needs, while running your existing analog system.

It is a cost-efficient way to obtain the next generation in two-way radio technology, while protecting your current system investment.

 

Digital Radio

Five initial benefits of the IDASTM System

Flexible migration path from analog to digital; The IC-FR5000 series can receive both analog and digital mode signals on a single channel. You can partially introduce IDAS™ digital radios, while still maintaining the existing analog radios in the system.

IDAS™ trunking with optional UC-FR5000; The optional UC-FR5000 offers single site digital trunking capability for effective channel management. Its distributed system (similar to analog LTR™ trunking) does not require a dedicated control channel. Up to 30 channels (RF units) per site can be set up.

Spectrum efficiency; The IDAS™ system utilizes 6.25kHz narrow channel spacing. This system is not only spectrum efficient but meets the 2011 deadline for narrow band compliance.

Flexible IP network possibilities; Being digital, integration and convergence with IP technology will be possible soon to enhance the basic system.

Improved audio quality and coverage; Enjoy low noise audio over a greater comparable area to analog FM. The IDAS™ radio uses the AMBE+2™ codec the latest evolution in vocoding technology.
