Ready for FCC Mandated VHF/UHF Migration?
Last December the FCC clarified the
deadlines and the consequences in
Public Notice DA 09-2589 which states
that, Operation in violation of the com-
missions rules may subject licensees to
enforcement action, including admon-
ishments, monetary forfeitures, and/or
license revocation, as appropriate.
Narrowband migration is here andnow! Only one to two budget cycles
remain for an agency to raise money,
design, purchase and implement a
new narrow band radio system. The
raising-money part may be the biggest
challenge, with lower tax revenues
and budgets tighter than ever. Many
agencies may find a two birds with one
stone strategy the best solution when
facing this situation that is, combin-
ing their narrowband and Project 25
interoperability programs, and then
funding the combined programthrough one of the several federal grant
programs that are available.
P25 radios are required to be back-
wards compatible to12.5 kHz analog
operation. You could operate new
P25radios on a 12.5 kHz analog system
now and migrate to a full P25 system
later. Of course you could do both
now and operate in a mixed mode
with any 12.5 kHz analog radios you
already have deployed.
Replace your radios this yearand upgrade your repeaters and RF
infrastructure in the future. Youll meet
your narrowband requirement before
the deadline and perform a complete
system interoperability upgrade in the
future, when times are better. Perhaps
you are concerned about ensuring that
radios purchased now will meet your
needs in the future. The Department
of Homeland Securitys ComplianceAssessment Program (CAP) and the
various manufacturers interoperability
certifications will ensure that the radios
you purchase today will be interoper-
able in your (and your neighbors
P25 system in the future.

Icoms More Powerful MobileIcom is Pleased to Have Its New High-power Mobile, the
F9511HT, Recognized by APCO Public Safety Communications
as a Hot Product for 2009.
Icoms new mobile radio, [the
ICF9511HT], is more powerful than
conventional radios, says one reviewer.
Its new P25-compliant unit is designed
to work with new or existing Icom
systems in the VHF range. Agencies
using an existing Icom system could
benefit from this new product at a
relatively low cost.
Built to rugged military standardswith a water-resistant controller, the
IC-F9511HT is a high-power mobile
radio with P25 trunking, P25
conventional and analog conventional
compatibility. The compact unit offers
110 watt RF output for reliable, long
distance communications.
The radio offers a mixed-mode
digital/analog operation, allowing it
to automatically detect and receive
analog FM and P25 digital signals
It can transmit in either mode, ultimately
allowing agencies to introduce P25
equipment without abandoning an
analog system. Both P25 OTAR (over
the-air-rekeying) and trunked OTAR
are supported.
Icom America is Proud to Announce the
Release of the CY-5000 Digital Series Repeater
The CY-5000 is a fully self-contained
analog + IDAS digital repeater. The
product is desktop or 19-inch rack moun-
table, featuring a built-in power supply
with battery backup and charging capa-
bilities. Duplexers and pre-selectors are
included in their respective versions.
The CY Series is built upon our 3RUuniversal chassis, which has been in the
marketplace for about five years. It has
been widely accepted as a very reliable,
self-contained, all-in-one unit, said
Dick Varbero, IAS Technical Specialist.
This allows for ancillary components
to be included inside that are typically
mounted outside of the chassis, thus
saving expensive rack space. The unit is
designed for plug-and-play operation
for easy installation and deployment.
Using auto-sensing capability, the50-watt output repeater transitions eas-
ily between repeating radio transmis-
sions utilizing legacy 25 kHz or 12.5 kHz
analog signals and IDAS digital signals
IDAS uses NXDN digital protoco
signals across 6.25 kHz channels.

Our CY-Series repeaters
process both analog AND
digital transmissions,
giving Icom a huge advantage.
Other manufacturers repeaters
transmit either analog or digital,
but not both. Dick Varbero
IDAS makes advanced calling
features possible, including selective
calling,status message, radio stun/kill/
revive and GPS position reporting.
A typical installation includes a fleet
of vehicles with legacy analog sub-
scriber units. The IDAS system is ideal
for business and industry users who
want to migrate to a digital system or
the future FCC mandated narrowband
spacing at their own pace.
Our existing legacy customers want
to upgrade their repeater infrastructure
to support both analog and digital

use for forward migration to 12.5 kHz
narrowband or 6.25 kHz very narrow-
band channels, Varbero said. Some
users wont have the funds to upgrade
their portables and mobiles to digital
all at once, so they want to continue to
get the most life expectancy out of their
current analog radios. This auto-sensing
technology affords these customers a
scalable, smooth transition roadmap.The new generation of subscriber
units from Icom also feature auto-sens-
ing between digital and analog signals;
digital radios can not only communicate
with other digital units, but are also able
to communicate with the legacy radios
on the system.
Through the dual-mode technology
in both the subscribers units as well as
the repeaters, we provide interoperability
for the handhelds and an easy digita
migration strategy for them, Varbero
said. At the end of the life expectancy o
the legacy handhelds, they can upgrade
to full digital.
The CY-5000 Digital series decodes
multiple CTCSS and DTCS as well asmultiple digital RAN (Radio Access
Number) codes on a per channel basis
(up to 16 tones/codes) and downlinks
the received signal with a specified
tone/code. This function is useful fo
sharing a channel with multiple groups
and provides quiet stand-by while
using other groups.

New 100W IDAS Repeater Allows Easy,
High-Powered Migration from Analog to
Digital Radio System
Icom America is pleased to announce
the development of the IAS 100D
Digital Series for the business and
industrial markets.
The IAS 100D Digital Series is a
repeater that brings higher power and
increased duty cycle to IDAS, Icoms
digital land mobile radio system using
the NXDN 6.25 kHz very narrowband
common air interface technology.
There are a number of vertical
markets with end users that have
100 watt licenses, said Dick Varbero,
Business and industrial market users
that require high power requirements in-
clude such entities as hospitals, schools
and taxicab companies.
The IAS 100D Digital Series receives
and re-broadcasts both legacy analog
and digital signals on a single channel.
This allows the user to move forward
with digital 6.25 kHz very narrowband,
while still serving the existing legacy
analog radios in their system. The mi-
gration to digital very narrowband can
therefore be scalable to each users
pace and requirement.
The IDAS system occupies only
6.25 kHz spectrum per channel, while
providing for enhanced IDAS feature
sets and data capabilities The IDAS sys-
tem uses the AMBE+2 codec, which
provides clear audio and simultaneous
data capabilities.
The IAS 100D Digital Series decodes
multiple CTCSS and DTCS as well as
digital RAN (Radio Access Number
codes on a per channel basis (up to
16 tones/codes) and downlinks the
received signal with a specified tone/
code. This function is useful fo
sharing a channel with multiple groups
and provides quiet stand-by while
using other groups.
These buzzwords prov ide you with the
key highlights and features.
