What is LTE?
The term LTE stands for Long-Term Evolution a standard for high-speed wireless communication for mobile devices and data terminals. People use LTE devices in their daily lives now from tablets to smartphones.
Icom’s IP501 is a perfect example of an LTE Radio which enables two-way communication with the ease and comfort of PTT (Push-To-Talk) operation and nationwide coverage over a 4G (LTE) and 3G network. This is an alternative to traditional radio.
The IP501H provides wide area communication using a LTE (4G) and 3G network and instantaneous communication. Individual calls, Group calls or All calls can be made the same way as a conventional two-way radio.
Using an existing LTE (4G) and 3G network, the IP501H is able to provide a network with wide area coverage capabilities. The IP501H does not require its own repeaters or IP network which reduces the cost of building and maintaining a wide area radio network. Network coverage provided by custom ICOM SIM card.
