As the International Wireless Communications Expo (IWCE) 2025 came to a close, the Icom team reflected on another successful year of meaningful connections, shared expertise, and hands-on interaction with industry professionals.

Chris Vargas, Inside Sales Representative at Icom, summed up the experience with one word: personal. After months of remote communication and countless email threads, IWCE offered the chance to meet face-to-face with dealers, partners, and industry peers.

After months of remote communication and countless email threads, IWCE offered the chance to meet face-to-face with dealers, partners, and industry peers.

For Chris, the value wasn't just in the deals—it was in the conversations. From shaking hands to sharing stories, the event brought a renewed sense of meaningful connection to the Icom community. It reminded everyone that behind every radio, every order, and every sale, there's a real relationship.

Icom America represents one of the few companies in the world that manufactures a complete line of Land Mobile, Marine, Amateur, Aviation, and Satellite radios. Since 1954, Icom has set the standard for quality and innovation, with a legacy of reliability that spans industries and continents. With ongoing advancements in digital technologies, Icom continues to lead the way toward the future of radio communications.

As Icom continues to lead in the world of mission-critical communications, events like IWCE help reaffirm what matters most: trust, collaboration, and showing up in person.

We're proud of another successful year—and already looking forward to the next one.

My name is Chris Vargas. I'm an Insights Sales representative here at Icom. We are actually wrapping up day two and wrapping up the entire expo overall. I had a great experience. It's always nice putting a name to a face, and just interacting with all of these dealers over email just isn't enough. You know? Getting the experience to actually shake some hands and just talk about each other's lives while making deals is what it's all about. Right? Had a great experience again, and I hope to be back next year.

Cornea's Class AI puts 100+ teaching tools on its interactive panel

Cornea's Class AI puts 100+ teaching tools on its interactive panel

Cornea's Class AI software adds more than 100 teaching tools. Pune-based Cornea, an OEM on the GeM portal, presents its products under the theme "One Brand for Every Display Need," which could appeal to schools and government buyers who want one supplier.

  • 01Cornea positions itself as a single source for hardware, software and AI-enabled AV infrastructure, with consolidation pitched as valuable for institutions fitting out rooms in batches.
  • 02For buyers already standardized on a conferencing or audio brand, how well a new panel fits the installed gear matters more than a single-brand classroom stack.
  • 03Signal to watch: whether the AIO PC, the Orator lectern and the new panel appear as orderable GeM listings, and at what price.

TVC's Genting Casino Manchester refit reuses 10 screens alongside 12 new ones

TVC's Genting Casino Manchester refit reuses 10 screens alongside 12 new ones

TVC Technology Solutions has upgraded Genting Casino Manchester with a curved LED entrance wall and 12 new Iiyama displays, while updating, relocating and repurposing 10 existing screens. A WyreStorm NetworkHD AV-over-IP platform links old and new screens as one system, suggesting how compatible venues can expand without rebuilding cabling or replacing everything.

  • 01At Genting Casino Manchester, TVC updated, relocated and repurposed 10 existing screens and installed 12 new Iiyama displays. An AV-over-IP network is what lets them run alongside the new screens as one system.
  • 02Once receivers are already on the IP network, adding a screen mostly means fitting a decoder at the new spot. The cabling back to a central rack doesn't need rebuilding.
  • 03Reuse has limits. The showpiece entrance wall was new and custom-built from bracket to controller, so carried-over hardware only works for the parts of the venue where compatible gear already exists.

ViewSonic now ships a 136-inch LED wall pitched to avoid permanent installs

ViewSonic now ships a 136-inch LED wall pitched to avoid permanent installs

ViewSonic's LDS136-152, a foldable 136-inch LED wall on wheels, is now shipping. It sets up in minutes. That gives AV and facilities teams a large screen for shared event spaces and European listed buildings, where drilling into walls may be restricted.

  • 01A 136-inch wall that folds into a flight case turns a construction project into a piece of equipment that moves between rooms.
  • 02The design earns its keep when the screen actually travels: between rooms, venues or trade shows. A display that never leaves one lobby gets less out of the wheels.
  • 03ViewSonic points to historic or protected buildings across Europe, where permanent structural changes may be restricted or impractical, as a use case for its installation-light, mobile dvLED wall.
