Top Three Two-Way Radio Technologies for Schools

Use Existing Networks

Most schools already operate a robust Wi-Fi infrastructure. Icom's IP110H Wi-Fi radios use that network, eliminating the need for costly repeater systems or FCC licenses. By adding wireless access points, like the AP-95M, schools can extend the range of Wi-Fi coverage and eliminate communication dead zones inside and outside the building.

Key features:

• Simultaneous TalkListen™, for natural, telephone-style conversations
• Communicate with multiple campuses over the internet
• Enterprise-grade security, WPA2, WPA-Enterprise

Communicate Beyond Campus

Need to keep in touch across town or the district? Icom's Cellular solutions make it simple. Select your radios, activate a monthly plan, and start communicating. These radios are ideal for coordinating campus staff and maintaining contact with off-site personnel, like bus drivers or district administrators.

Key features:

• Nationwide communication without range limitations
• Individual, group, and all call options with priority interrupt
• Compact, rugged, portable and mobile options

An Easy Transition from Analog

Tried-and-true VHF and UHF systems remain essential for schools, especially in areas with limited cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. Icom's IDAS digital radios support dual-mode capability, allowing schools to operate on analog while gradually transitioning to digital.

Key features:

• Clear digital audio
• Secure conversations
• Expandable to conventional and trunking solutions
