Scenario 1Radio Integration: Bridge Radio Groups for Seamless Communication Across Different Systems
The VE-PG4 RoIP gateway connects multiple radio groups, even if they use different frequencies and types of radio systems. It automatically shares audio between groups, enabling users to communicate effortlessly across connected groups. Whether it’s analog, digital, VHF marine, VHF airband, or satellite PTT radios, the VE-PG4 bridges them all for unified communication.
Cross band/cross category operation may be prohibited in some countries. Please check the legal requirements in your country before installation.
Scenario 2LTE Gateway: Combine LTE Radios with IDAS™ Digital Radio Groups for Extended Coverage
The VE-PG4 connects LTE radios to IDAS™ digital radio groups, enabling seamless individual and group calls between both systems. With its built-in LTE module and a custom SIM card, the VE-PG4 connects directly to LTE radio groups. It can also link to an IDAS™ repeater through an IP network for extended coverage.
Scenario 3Wi-Fi Radio Controller: Flexible Wi-Fi Radio Communication with IDAS™ Digital Radio Groups
The VE-PG4 enables Wi-Fi radios to connect through Wi-Fi access points in an IP network. With its built-in controller, the VE-PG4 can manage up to 50 Wi-Fi radios, such as the IP110H and IP100FS. If needed, the Wi-Fi radios can also connect to an IDAS™ digital radio group, enabling Individual and Group calls between Wi-Fi and IDAS™ digital/LTE radios.
Scenario 4Telephone Integration: IDAS™ Digital, Wi-Fi and LTE Radios Make Calls with Telephone Network
The VE-PG4 includes a built-in simple SIP server for direct connection to telephone networks. IDAS™ digital radio users can make phone calls, and internal or external callers can reach specific IDAS™ radios, Wi-Fi and LTE users directly. It improves connectivity across different communication platforms.
Scenario 5System Expansion: Connecting Multiple Gateways Over an LTE Network for Flexible Expansion
The VE-PG4 can connect to other units over an LTE network using its remote access feature, eliminating the need for additional networking infrastructure. This allows for flexible expansion of the communication coverage, enabling dispersed radio groups to connect seamlessly, regardless of the distance or the type of radio system used.
Scenario 6Emergency : Integration with Public Address System for Broad Announcement and Alert Capabilities
The VE-PG4 easily connects to public address (PA) systems, enabling digital radio or IP phone users to make announcements directly. It can also connect external devices like sirens or warning lights. In emergency situations, the VE-PG4 automatically detects signals and triggers emergency notifications.
Scenario 7Satellite PTT Integration: Join Satellite PTT Conversations to Land Radio Groups for Monitoring
Connecting an IC-SAT100/M satellite PTT radio to the VE-PG4 enables land radio groups to monitor satellite conversations. Land radio users can also respond and communicate directly with the satellite radio group, ensuring seamless interaction between the two systems.
Scenario 8Satellite PTT Integration: Use Satellite PTT Radios as Backup for Communication Between Remote Locations
IC-SAT100/M satellite PTT radios provide backup communication methods between multiple VE-PG4s, when LTE networks or broadband lines are unavailable. This enables geographically separated land radio groups to be connected, enabling them to monitor conversations and ensuring reliable communication in remote areas.

CloseCloseIngress Protection (IP) Code
Ingress Protection (IP) ratings define the level of protection provided by enclosures to prevent the ingress of foreign objects (dust) and liquid into the electrical equipment.
International Standard IEC 60529 outlines an international classification system that describes the sealing characteristics of electrical equipment.
The classification system uses the “IP” code, or “Ingress Protection” code, to define the level of seal.
An IP number contains two numbers (i.e. IP67) in most instances which relate to the level of protection provided by an enclosure or housing.
Either number may be shown as “X” (i.e. IPX6 / IP7X) to indicate the “X” part is not tested.
Degrees of Solid Particle Protection – 1st Digit
| IP6x | No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact. (Dust tight) |
|---|---|
| IP5x | Protected from the amount of dust that would interfere with normal operation. (Dust protected) |
Degrees of Liquid Ingress Protection – 2nd Digit
| IPx8 | Protected against continuous immersion in water. Depth and duration specified by model. |
|---|---|
| IPx7 | Protected against temporary immersion in water for 1 m (3.3 ft) for 30 minutes |
| IPx6 | Protected against water projected by powerful jets from any direction. 100 L per minute by a powerful jets (12.5 mm) for 3 minutes. |
| IPx5 | Protected against water projected by jets from any direction. 12.5 L per minute by a nozzle (6.3 mm) for 3 minutes. |
| IPx4 | Protected against water splashed against the equipment from any direction |
