IP-M60

The IP-M60 is the world’s¹ first hybrid IP radio, combining two communication modes in one device: VHF marine and LTE. It functions as a marine VHF handheld mobile radio — widely used for maritime safety — and as a land-based LTE cellular radio for long-distance communication within cellular coverage areas².  

The IP-M60 is ideal for use offshore, in ports, rivers, and canals where both maritime and land-based communication are needed. It’s especially useful for rescue boats coordinating with search-and-rescue agencies, or during events like yacht races that require communication across multiple networks.

Cellular + Marine Mode offers four sub-modes: “Cellular Main”, “Marine Main”, “Adaptive PTT with Cellular Main”, and “Adaptive PTT with Marine Main”. Below are examples of “Cellular Main“ and “Adaptive PTT with Cellular Main“ modes. The same settings can be swapped between Marine and LTE modes.

In the Cellular Main mode, the IP-M60 typically stands by in Cellular mode and initiates calls to cellular groups on pushing the Main PTT button. However, if a call is received on a marine channel, the radio temporary switches to the Marine mode to respond on the marine channel.

In this mode, the radio remains in the Cellular mode by default and initiates calls to cellular groups when the Main PTT button is pressed. As the operator moves to preprogrammed marine area (GPS point), the radio automatically shifts to the Marine mode and transmits on a marine channel.

Relay Mode transfers received audio between the marine and IP radio groups. When operating in this mode, the IP-M60 automatically forwards incoming voice signals without playing them through the speaker.

 The Relay function may be prohibited in some countries.

• Noise Canceling function reduces background noise from transmitting voice
• The Automatic Firmware Update and Provisioning function works through an LTE connection

The Vibration Alert function notifies the user that a call or text message is received with a strong vibration. This function can be configured for individual calls, group calls, all calls, or only when receiving text data, depending on how it is used.

The IP-M60 has a recording and playback function, so that if you miss something, you can listen to it again immediately.
 

 Maximum recording: 4 minutes or 10 recordings.

• Priority call with high priority authority
• Dual SIM capability to install two SIM cards at the same time
• One Touch PTT function keeps transmitting while you are talking
• Address book for storing talkgroup IDs

• Favorite channel scan, Priority channel scan and Auto Scan Start functions
• Weather channel receiver with a Weather Alert function^*
