I'm Mike Sharp with Napoleon Links in Archville, Ohio, and we're here to talk to you about how we use Icom radios. We are Napoleon Links, a garage door hardware manufacturer in North America with five locations. And we've been using two way radio and the manufacturing processes since the nineteen eighties. We evolved away from it, and we've came we've come back in the nineteen nineties early icon radio that we've used for years and no longer. The tower you're looking at was the tower that we installed back in the nineties when we first started using Icom radios. But we're evolving into a new generation radio and some new functionality. We're looking forward to IDAS being able to grow with us as our business grows and adapt in ways we needed to adapt to our needs. We've, had the potential with five locations in North America to Canada three in the US to tie all the operations together via the internet, instantaneous, secure communications between one production floor in another or one main office in another. This this is going to afford us a lot of flexibility in the future. One of the features we look forward to in the future is the ability to tie all of our locations together via IP Radio. And with hopes that we can communicate to all the locations or selectively communicate to the necessary locations as needed. We we expect that to be a real advantage when the shop floors of all of our locations can talk directly. Another great feature of the icon radios over a lot of radios we've used in the past is is their ruggedness. Cheap radios don't hold up to the drops and bumps, and and spills that they get. The Icom radios are are military standard eight ten, so they stand up the shock and vibration. Temperature. They are somewhat waterproof and dust tight. And, that's really appreciated in an industrial setting.
