Radio Internet Protocol Communications Module
The DHS Science and Technology Directorate designed a P25-compatible, after-market technology solution — the Radio Internet-Protocol Communications Module (RIC-M) — that allows agencies to easily upgrade and reconfigure legacy systems at a low cost. RIC-M allows many older base station systems to be used for another 10 to 20 years. It allows interoperability between different vendor systems to seamlessly communicate. The module bridges portable radios, legacy base station systems, and dispatches consoles.
