New Icom–Starlink Integration Transforms Communication in Hard-to-Reach Locations
A breakthrough communication solution is reshaping how organisations support teams operating far beyond the limits of traditional infrastructure. The integration of the Icom IP110H Wi-Fi Transceiver with the Starlink satellite system delivers instant, reliable voice communication to remote and challenging environments, meeting a critical need for industries that depend on real-time coordination.
Developed to support field maintenance crews, off-site construction teams, maritime operations, and other dispersed workforces, the new solution eliminates the constraints of complex radio networks. By pairing Icom’s dedicated voice technology with Starlink’s high-bandwidth satellite connectivity, organisations can ensure uninterrupted communication with staff working hundreds or thousands of miles away.
At the core of this innovation is the Icom IP110H, which adds robust voice capabilities to Starlink’s native data services. Its Simultaneous TalkListen™ feature enables full-duplex, telephone-like conversations—allowing team members to speak and hear at the same time. This marks a significant improvement over traditional push-to-talk systems, enhancing clarity, efficiency and operational safety.
The system also integrates seamlessly with the wider Icom UK Business Radio portfolio. Through the VE-PG4 Radio over IP (RoIP) gateway, organisations can connect the IP110H/Starlink solution with existing Icom conventional radio networks, LTE systems and IP phone platforms. This unified architecture enables central managers to communicate directly with remote crews via desktop IP phones, creating a scalable, interoperable communication environment tailored to modern operational demands.
By combining Icom’s advanced Wi-Fi transceivers with the global reach of the Starlink™ satellite internet system, this new solution delivers a reliable, versatile communication tool for organisations working in isolated terrains or offshore conditions. It provides the continuity, oversight and support necessary to keep remote teams connected—wherever their mission takes them.
