Icom America and Daniels Electronics
Announce Successful P25 Trunked Interoperability Test
June 11, 2009 – Icom America Inc, an industry leader of state-of-the-art digital
land mobile communications equipment, and Daniels Electronics Ltd., a leading supplier
of high reliability digital P25 Land Mobile Radio infrastructure equipment, today
jointly announced today jointly announced the successful completion of interoperability
testing between their P25 encrypted trunked products.
According to Chris Lougee, Vice President of Icom America: “Our recently introduced
F9000 series portables and mobiles have been well received in the market and we are
pleased that we can validate their interoperability with a number of manufacturers,
including Daniels. Daniels has a reputation for building solid product that is easy
to work with and these tests confirm that.”
Daniels recently announced its new P25 trunked radio system at the IWCE
tradeshow in Las Vegas. Building on its highly successful family of MT-4E
digital radios, the Standalone trunked system provides a trunked solution for
public safety applications that require a single site system that is compact,
easy to transport, offers rapid installation and low current consumption.
Fully compliant to the P25 suite of standards the Daniels trunked radio
system is designed to interoperate with all P25 trunked handhelds and mobiles.
“We are very pleased with the results of these tests,” says Robert Small,
President and Chief Operating Officer of Daniels Electronics. “They validate our
core design and prove that our radio system is compliant to the standards and provides
interoperability with other P25 compliant equipment.”
The Icom IC-F9011B/S/T portables and the IC-F9511S/T mobiles have built-in analog
conventional, P25 conventional and P25 trunking capability, making them forward and
backward compatible. The mixed mode operation allows operation on a mixed system with
analog and digital signal and the radios feature multiple channel spacing options:
15kHz/30kHz (analog) and 12.5kHz (digital). This means most agencies can introduce
P25 equipment without abandoning a legacy analog system. To ensure interoperability
with other brands of P25 equipment, both the portables and mobiles conform to the
standard specifications for TIA/EIA TSB-102, CAAB, Digital C4FM Transceiver Performance
Recommendations.
P25 (Project 25) is a public safety standard for digital wireless communications
defined by the Association for Public Safety Communication Officials (www.apcointl.org).
These standards enable users to communicate with other agencies and mutual aid response
teams in emergencies, for the safety and security of communities across North America
and the world.
