£655.33 (Ex. VAT)
NEW PRODUCT – LAUNCHED JULY 10TH
The IP-M60 is the world’s first hybrid IP transceiver. Combining two modes in one, VHF marine and LTE communications. VHF marine transceiver, which is commonly used worldwide as a means of maritime safety, and a land-based LTE transceiver that can be used to make calls over any distance within a cellular (LTE) coverage area.
The IP-M60 can be used offshore, in ports, rivers, and canals where maritime and business communications are required. It can be used in situations such as rescue boats that need to coordinate with search and rescue agencies, as well as in the operation of yacht racing events.
Four Operating Modes
Cellular (LTE) Mode
In Cellular mode, communication is through the carrier’s LTE (or 3G). Calls can be made anywhere within the carrier’s coverage area. In addition, Simultaneous TalkListen™ provides full-duplex communication in Cellular mode allowing users to talk and listen at the same time like a telephone conversation.
Marine Mode
This mode works as a VHF marine radio that has the same functions and performance as conventional VHF marine radios, such as Icom IC-M25 or IC-M25EURO. VHF Marine is used to ensure the safety of marine traffic between vessels or vessel-to-coast stations.
Cellular (LTE) + Marine Mode
Cellular and Marine modes can be used simultaneously (simultaneous reception is possible and audio is MIXED.) PTT buttons for Main and Sub-mode make it possible to select the communication mode assigned to each with one touch. The communication mode can be selected quickly without having to switch modes. Simultaneous transmission on both channels is possible by pressing the PTT buttons for the Main and Submode at the same time.
Relay Mode — Transfers Received Audio to Another Mode
The Relay Mode transfers received marine audio to the IP radio group, vice versa. When the IP-M60 is used in the Relay Mode, no received voice is heard from the speaker.
The Relay function may be prohibited in some countries.
Common Features for the Cellular (LTE) + Marine Mode
Bluetooth® Technology Enables Wireless Operation
The built-in Bluetooth® unit provides a wireless connection between the IP-M60 and an optional Bluetooth® headset. It also has a VOX function that enables automatic voice transmission in response to your voice, allowing hands-free operation.
1500 mW Speaker Output, Provide Clear Loud Audio
Icom’s custom high-power capacity speaker delivers a loud 1500 mW audio output with advanced acoustic sound clarity for noisy environments.
MIL-STD-810 and IP67 Specifications
The IP-M60 is tested to U.S. Military standard environmental tests and dust-tight and waterproof rating of IP67*. It can be used with peace of mind on decks exposed to rain or splashing water, or in dusty conditions such as during ship repairs.
AquaQuake™ Draining Functions
