What Is IDAS™?

IDAS™ is the best choice of professional digital two-way radios available today. IDAS is a communications platform that will grow with your company into the future.

Greater audio quality, enhanced security, integrated data are all inherent in IDAS, which is available now in conventional mode for systems or with IDAS trunking where radio users find it hard to gain access to busy channels. IDAS trunking makes the most of the radio spectrum you have.

IDAS takes the idea of radio spectrum efficiency one step further. It surpasses the FCC current mandate to go to narrow band voice channels by leapfrogging the 12.5kHz target and going directly to 6.25 kHz channels. This aligns with the FCC's vision of getting the 6.25 kHz in the near future.

Icom knows how challenging it can be to transition a system from one technology to another. IDAS was designed to make that digital migration as seamless as possible. No forklift upgrades required to begin using digital radios. Just put in the infrastructure and add the digital radios as your needs demand and budget allows. IDAS radios can operate in dual analog/digital mode so communications are not lost between your legacy radios and your IDAS radios as you migrate.

IDAS is based on the non-proprietary NXDN™ protocol jointly developed between Icom and Kenwood. This opens the door so you're not locked in to a single vendor as your system changes and grows.

When you buy this system today, you are making a lasting transition to the digital future easily and effectively.
