Walker Forge considered systems from several different manufacturers, but in the end it was Icoms non-proprietary NXDNTM technology that swayed its decision. Not wanting to be locked into a single vendor as the source for product, Walker Forge opted for an Icom IDAS system. After discussions of analog vs. digital and future expansion, plus the benet of apparent in-building coverage, they decided to go the digital route, Nielson says. Other important features included caller ID and short text messaging.
The new system is capable of plant wide radio communications with two groups, production and maintenance, says Steve Nielson, VP of sales and marketing for Nielson Communications. They also have a telephone interconnect on one of the two repeaters, which in my opinion helped make their decision.
For now, the customer is using mixed-mode operation. One repeater operates in 12.5 kHz analog, while the other operates in 6.25 kHz digital. The system is performing well and customer feedback has been positive, Nielson says. They are very satised. They speak highly of our company and the Icom product.

Smith says Tight budgets often prevent smaller public safety departments from purchasing both a radio and pager for each responder. In the past, many departments chose to outt responders with a pager a dependable and lowcost option for notication and dispatch. A major disadvantage of using pagers, of course, is that personnel can not acknowledge the call or conrm response. Smith says customers are pleased with the performance of the F50V. In particular, they mention its excellent reception, receive and transmit sensitivity, and waterproof construction. The radio sells itself, Smith says. Were just opening our mouth and talking about it.

system. First, the casino wanted a 6.25 kHz digital system. It was also looking for a good value great features and high quality at a reasonable price. But the clincher came down to the nitty-gritty of Icoms trunking technology. With these objectives in mind, Icoms system was clearly the way to go, Pointon says. The system includes ten FR6000 Series repeaters and approximately 800 radios. The majority of these are F4161DS portables; the casino also purchased a handful of F6061D mobiles. Users include security, maintenance, housekeeping, and the IT department. IA Systems built the system, and then shipped it to Pointon Communications for installation. We like Icoms straightforward approach, Pointon says. IAS built the system, and we are putting it back together here. We like how simple it is to build. Pointon Communications is also installing an Avtec two-position radio console for the casino. This computer software-based system will eventually integrate directly with the IDAS trunking system.
Early system tests and initial user feedback are very positive, Pointon says.
Icoms IDAS digital land mobile radio systems double the capacity of current 12.5 kHz channel allocations and provide crystal clear audio over a greater coverage area than analog FM. Ho-Chunk Casino had three primary requirements when selecting a new
