Flexible Digital Migration Solution
with Advanced IP Network Integration
IDAS is Icom’s digital land mobile radio system using the NXDN or dPMR common air interface. IDAS offers a complete
system of handheld radios, mobile radios, repeaters, network interface/trunking controller, remote communicator, systemmanager software and various accessories. IDAS is a total digital solution that system owners or operators can grow into
as their time and budgets allow.

Multiple-site Configurations
The IDAS can cover various digital radio communication needs from simple peer
to peer operation between two radios, up to multi-site wide area networks. Further
coverage is enhanced with IP interconnection.

Digital Clarity
By adopting the industry standard AMBE+2™ Vocoder and advanced FEC (Forward Error Correction) coding, improved communication quality, clarity and reliability are a hallmark of IDAS systems.

Effective System Management
Simple and efficient management is critical for systems of any size. IDAS provides effective system management with such features as OTAP and administration applications.

3Multiple-site Configuration

NXDN™/dPMR™ Protocol Choice
The IDAS digital radio system has two protocol choices, NXDN and dPMR. Both protocols are open digital radio standards using 6.25 kHz FDMA narrowband technology. With this flexible choice, the IDAS radio system allows for interoperability with other manufactures equipment for seamless supply/replacement of existing NXDN and/or dPMR systems.
And naturally these FDMA based protocols are a perfect match, when migrating an analog system to digital.

System Scalability According to Communication Traffic and Coverage
Depending on communication traffic and coverage, the IDAS radio system can be grown from single site conventional tomulti-site trunking to match your communication needs.

Remote Communicator Software

Mixed Mode Operation (Conventional)

The RC-FS10 Remote Communicator software createsa virtual radio/simple dispatcher on a Windows®-based
PC. It enables you to remotely access IDAS repeaters
using an IP network and communicate with IDAS radiosor monitor radio communications even from outside of
the radio coverage area. You can customize the RCFS10 screen interface for more efficient use.

The IDAS radio can receive both analog and digital conventional mode signals on a channel and can reply according to the received mode. The IDAS system allows
you to migrate analog systems to narrow band digital atyour own pace and need, while running your existing
analog system. It is a cost efficient way to obtain the latest digital two-way radio technology, while protecting yourcurrent system investment.

• RC-FS10 is available with IDAS conventional and Type-D

True Narrowband: Reliable Communications for Half the Spectrum
IDAS (both NXDN and dPMR) operate at true 6.25 kHz channel efficiency. Even in urban areas, where users often experience channel congestion, narrowband digital channels offer higher communication access capability. Radio spectrum is a scarce resource andIDAS provides a future-proof solution not only now, but also in many years ahead as 12.5 kHz channels become full over time.

6.25 kHz Fundamental Excellence

No need to allow for TDMA time slot synchronization. Instant communications in emergencies and critical situations.
FDMA is the fail safe mode of choice in land mobile radio.
Nothing else compares.

Narrower bandwidth FDMA provides technical excellencein sensitivity, interference resistance, increased coverage,audio quality, spectrum efficiency and more.

FDMA: Proven History Like No Other Radio Technology

Q FDMAFor over 50 years, FDMA has been the backbone of twoway radio communication. Generational enhancements
have culminated in the realisation of 6.25 kHz FDMA digitalprotocols that are literally ahead of their time, while keeping
backward compatibility with analogue FM radio.

6.25 kHz narrowband
FDMA

6.25 kHz channel plans and standards are used in North
America, Europe, Japan, Oceania, and the list goes on. 6.25
kHz provides an answer to the worldwide problem of spectrum shortage and efficient use.

Customizing Audio Quality
IDAS radios also implement audio features and settings
to compliment the performance of the vocoder.
Active noisecanceller

This function suppresses backgroundnoise and improves both transmitted
voice and incoming calls.

Equalizer effectThis function can improve the audio
readability by increasing or decreasing
particular audio frequency components.

Voice recording

This function records incoming andoutgoing calls in WAV format.
Various communication data is embedded in
the WAV file, such as User IDs, GPS position,
frequency, etc.
The IC-F3400D/F5400D series can record to amicroSD card for long hours of recording.

Emergency Call and Alert
To ensure workers safety, IDAS handheld radios havethe following four emergency related functions. If oneof these functions are activated, the radio automaticallysends an emergency signal.
Man downfunction
Lone worker
function

When no operation is performed or when the user does not movefor the specified time period, the radio enters the Emergency mode.

Stationary
detection

When the user does not move, and the stationary detection
does not detect motion for the specified time period, the radio
enters the Emergency mode.

Motiondetection

When the user continuously moves the radio and the motion
detection sensor exceeds the setting for the specified time
period, the radio enters the Emergency mode.

Remote Monitor (NXDN™)/
Ambience Listening (dPMR™)

Position Data
Transmission Capability
When the GPS feature is used, the IDAS radio can automatically transmit accurate position data at programmed
intervals. The position data can be sent with voice call or
status call and can be used with a third-party AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) system. The GPS log functions
logs user position data in a microSD card memory.

When the radio is tilted at a particular angle for a specified
time period, the radio enters the Emergency mode.

A Remote monitor call or Ambience listening call* remotely controls the receive radio to automatically transmit
its microphone audio, for the specified timer period. You
can remotely activate the radio’s microphone and listen
into the environment surrounding the user to help identify
if an emergency exists, or what is occurring near the user.
* The Remote monitor call or Ambience listening call can be made fromdesignated IDAS radios.

Transparent Data ModemThe IDAS radio can be used as a transparent data
modem which transmits the serial data received from aPC or various devices*. The IDAS radio can interface withother Bluetooth® devices for easy data entry.
* Third-party products required.
RS-232 orBluetooth®

Radio Kill, Stun and Revive
If a radio is lost or stolen, the radio Kill function disables the radio over the air to reduce any security threat.
When the radio Stun command is received, all functions
will be temporarily locked out until a Revive command isreceived or the user password is entered*.
* The radio Kill, Stun and Revive commands can be made from designated
IDAS radios.

Effective System Management

OTAP(Over-the-Air Programming)
The OTAP function enables you to distribute a radio configuration file overthe-air and remotely reconfigure radios
while in the field. The system operator
can edit channels, call lists, status
message lists and more, and canschedule the updating from Specified
time, Next power-up, Auto restart andReactivation key. Save considerable
time and eliminate the need to returnthe radio for reprogramming.

Intelligent Battery Management

In addition to the digital modulation and demodulation,
the digital voice scrambler gives your voice and data
calls privacy against casual eavesdropping by a scannerreceiver. When higher grade security is required, AESand DES encryption* are available. The OTAR (Over-theAir Rekeying) function allows secure updating of encryption keys over the radio channel.

The intelligent battery charger software checks the battery health, battery age and battery cycle count whenever a battery is inserted into an intelligent charger. The
Eco mode stops charging at approximately 80–90% toextend the battery’s life. The batteries can be optimally
maintained and an indication of timing for battery replacement is given.
