Fylde Micro and Icom Inc. dPMR® Mode 3 System Products
Blackpool, England/Osaka, Japan – September 16, 2011 - Fylde Micro Ltd (Blackpool, England) and
Icom Incorporated (Osaka, Japan) officially announce the Mode 3 dPMR® equipment.
This partnership was announced in January of this year, and the results of the development have
progressed to the point where the first stage dPMR® Mode 3 products are nearing completion.
These components consist of:
Fylde Micro’s 4th generation controller MultiLingo™, and
Icom Inc.’s dPMR® Mode 3 capable IDAS™ series terminals and repeaters.
Fylde and Icom will be showing a prototype level system at the upcoming PMR Summit in Barcelona,
Spain on September 20th and 21st, 2011. The combined product suite is the first one based on the open
ETSI TS 102 658 Tier 2 Mode 3 dPMR® standards, and will currently be the first trunking and networking
capable system to be based on ETSI digital two-way radio standards outside of Tetra.
The initial system capability will be a high quality trunked and networked radio system ranging in size
from a single site up to 16 site multi-site trunking operation. Further enhancements planned for 2012 will
see the system scope expand to an unlimited number of sites (a theoretical maximum of up to 1000
sites/500,000 subscribers) with telephone interconnect and other features.
The Fylde and Icom solution will also be unique in the fact that it will offer an immediate migration path
from MPT to dPMR® without the requirement of any MPT operation in the IDAS™ terminals. The
MultiLingo™ controller will have the capability to encode/decode analogue MPT signals to and from
digital dPMR® signals and vice versa. This provides the advantage of not requiring a parallel
infrastructure set up to allow an MPT and the dPMR® digital system to work together.
