Icom America and Daniels Electronics
Renew P25 Trunked Systems Distribution Agreement
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 they have renewed their
distribution agreement of Daniels radios via the Icom America Systems (IAS) group.
The renewed agreement will continue to facilitate Icom America Systems Group
ability to offer turnkey radio solutions for Public Safety agencies in the United
States as well as in Latin America. With Daniels recent announcement of a P25
trunked radio system that Icom handhelds have been successfully tested on, Icom
will also have a larger portfolio of products to offer Public Safety customers.
Chris Lougee, Vice President of Icom America, claims: “We have been pleased
to work with Daniels over the years since Daniels is a well respected provider
of analog/digital repeaters and base stations. Now with a renewed agreement
that allows us to sell their P25 trunked radio system we can combine their
infrastructure with Icom's subscriber units and system integration to strengthen
Icom’s presence in the expanding market for P25 digital integrated LMR solutions.
Icom will be able to offer agencies a completely integrated P25 system solution,
with full engineering, project management and field support to ensure performance.
The agency will benefit from the ‘one source’ opportunity to purchase a true ‘turn key’
P25 communication systems with all components designed to work together and supported by
one team. We feel Daniels Electronics has a similar vision to ours…high quality products,
with high quality support designed to meet the requirements of this special customer.”
According to Robert Small, President and Chief Operating Officer for Daniels Electronics,
“The continuation of our collaboration with Icom enables Daniels offer infrastructure solutions
to the public safety and commercial market in North America for turnkey solutions that we are
unable to address alone. The renewed agreement also facilitates expanded sales of our new P25
trunked radio system and enables us to pursue P25 opportunities in Latin America”
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.
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.
