ICOM IP501H - Nationwide Coverage
Now you can get nationwide communications with the Icom IP501H LTE Two Way Radio. This small powerful radio provides instant communication using a LTE 4G and 3G network for telephone-type conversations without the need for repeaters or an IP network. A standard two way radio allows only one person to talk at a time, while the other party listens (called simplex communication). The IP501H is capable of full duplex operation, which means a user can talk and listen at the same time, just like a phone.
ICOM IP501H - Easy Communication
The IP501H features a 500 memory address book for individual, group, talkgroup multiplex talkgroup calls, and pre-programmed text messages, for easy communication between groups, floors, buildings, and dispersed geographic locations within your organization.
The IP501H has clear, high-quality audio, due to its G.726 (32 kbps) vocoder. It has a vibration alert to notify the user of incoming calls for more quiet operation. There is a recording function to store incoming voice messages for up to one minute. The IP501H is also equipped with Bluetooth and VOX capability, so users can pair it with a headset or other audio device for hands-free communication.
ICOM IP501H - Durable
The Icom IP501H has a backlit LCD display and a removable antenna only 2 inches in length. The battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack rated for over 17 hours on a single full charge. The Icom IP501H is also IP67 waterproof - submersible in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes!
ICOM IP501H - Low-Cost Monthly Service
