VE-PG4

RoIP GATEWAY

Radio Gateway — Link LMR Radios, LTE Radios,

IP Radios, IP Phone Systems and More
Ensures Cooperative Information
Sharing Across Systems and Devices
The VE-PG4 is a versatile RoIP (Radio over IP network) gateway unit, which
seamlessly interconnects LMR radios, LTE radios, IP communication terminals,
IP phone systems and external devices. In addition to the IP Network (LAN/WAN),
the built-in LTE module* provides virtually nationwide communication coverage.
* Service availability depends on the country. Network coverage provided by a custom SIM card.

Bridge Connection between Radio Systems
IP Network The VE-PG4 interconnects with two or more radio
systems, even when the systems are using different
VE-PG4
IC-FR5000 bands and different categories. All received
audio is bridged to opposing radio system, so a
radio user can talk to all connected radio users.
The built-in digital voice converter converts analog
audio to IDAS™ compatible digital audio.
* Cross band/cross category operation may be prohibited
in some countries. Please check the legal requirements in
Radio System A Radio System B Radio System C your country before installation.
