The IDAS™ trunking uses a distributed logic system which does not use a dedicated control channel. All trunked channels can be used for voice traffic channels to be shared more effectively with a large number of users.
The IDAS™ multi-site trunking can have up to 30 repeaters (RF
units) per site and up to 48 trunked sites can be interlinked
over the IP network. An IDAS™ terminal radio user can communicate
with other IDAS™ terminal radio users working under the
interlinked trunked sites.*
* Up to 16 pre-programmed sites can be down-linked simultaneously for a group call.
In the IDAS™ multi-site trunking, the combination of prefix ID and individual ID (or group ID) codes is used as a unique identifier. The IDAS™ multi-site trunking can have up to 30 prefix ID codes per system and up to 2,000 individual ID codes and 2,000 group ID codes per prefix ID. In total, up to 60,000 individual IDs and 60,000 group ID numbers can be used in a system.
When a user turns on a radio, or moves from site to another site, the radio automatically starts the hunt scan and registers the own ID information to the repeater site. No user interaction required.
The fleet management allows the system manager to control a user group in a fleet. Users can be assorted into up to 5,000 fleets and the system manager can enable or disable the use of the system for any fleet.

The IDAS™ multi-site trunking requires only the UC-FR5000 (#03) trunking controller which can be installed into the IC-FR5000 series repeater – no external server and no extra rack space is required.
IDAS™ multi-site trunking can reject to register an unauthorized terminal radio to the repeater site by using the electronic serial number (ESN) or individual ID of the radio.
IDAS™ repeater sites can update terminal radios programmed content with new system information like added channels and new sites over the air without interrupting use of the radio.
Terminal radios can listen to a call of higher priority even in the
middle of lower priority on-going calls in the order below.
(1) Emergency Call (2) Individual Call (3) Group Call
When used with a third party SNMP manager software, the MIB (Management Information Base) of the trunked site can be remotely monitored. The system manager can efficiently manage the multi-site trunked sites over the network.
The remote communicator creates an IP-based virtual radio on
a PC and works as a simple dispatch. IDAS™ communication
features can be used with the remote communicator software.
