Icom LTE Radios Keep Riders Connected on 77-Mile Highland Charity Ride

Scottish communications specialists Highland Signals Ltd recenly supported the 2024 'Bridge to Bridge' cycle fundraiser, where Icom LTE communications played a vital role..

Over 150 cyclists from all over the UK took on the challenging 77-mile route from the Skye Bridge to the North Kessock Bridge, navigating the stunning Scottish Highlands.

With the help of  Highland Signals Ltd, event safety was managed seamlessly using Icom's advanced radio communication system. The IP503H LTE/PoC handsets and IP501M LTE/PoC mobile radios enabled marshals and volunteers to maintain clear and timely communication, ensuring a secure and well-coordinated event.

Organiser Heather Bannerman expressed appreciation for the support, stating:

Icom's generosity was instrumental in elevating the event's safety standards.

LTE/PoC radios use mobile networks to provide long range communication with the ease of push-to-talk operation. The units are designed for commercial use, whereby multiple parties can be contacted immediately.
