In an increasingly interconnected world, the enduring value of radio communications cannot be understated. Radios can be a lifeline during outdoor adventures, on-site business operations, or even in emergency situations. Leading the charge in this field is Icom, a globally recognized manufacturer of wireless communication products. While technology continues to advance, Icom has demonstrated their adaptability, evolving to meet the needs of a diverse customer base while maintaining focus on user convenience, robustness, and elimination of licensing fees. From the compact yet powerful IP110H to the versatile IC-F7520 to the highly durable V10MR, Icom caters to every unique user requirement. Here, three members of the Icom team discuss what they love about some of their favorite Icom products. Here’s Mark Jordan, Senior Sales Manager of Land Mobile, Jon Paul Beauchamp, Senior Manager of Business Development and Kevin Macareg, Marketing Coordinator, to share their experiences.

The Icom Team’s Thoughts:

Mark Jordan: My favorite radio right now is the IP110H.

Jon Paul Beauchamp: My favorite radio is, it’s the Icom IC-F7520.

Kevin Macareg: My favorite Icom radio would probably have to be the V10MR.

Mark Jordan: It’s tiny, but mighty. It doesn’t require licensing. And if you can get it on the network in any place with WiFi, it can give you complete coverage.

Jon Paul Beauchamp: Conveniently for all of us, it is indeed an Icom radio, a mobile P25 radio that I have installed in my vehicle in two parts, a command mic and a rear-mounted control head. A command mic at the front of the radio sits conveniently inside the center console of my vehicle, allowing me to have easy access to all of the controls of the radio. At the rear of the SUV is a second command center, or control head, for the radio. It allows me to change the channel and hear every bit of radio traffic from the rear of the SUV.

Kevin Macareg: You don’t need a license to operate the radio, so no additional fees. And it’s great for businesseses or personal use, and I’ve used mine for hiking, camping, and off-roading. And what’s great about the radio is the durability. We actually tested the radio, a recorded video of us driving it over with a car, dropping in a river, and tossing it down a flight of stairs, and it still works good as new.

Nvidia Says It Will Double Chip Sales Next Year. The Supply Chain Is Where That Gets Decided.

Nvidia Says It Will Double Chip Sales Next Year. The Supply Chain Is Where That Gets Decided.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang forecasted doubling chip sales next year, but the company's CFO frames this as the supply-unconstrained scenario, signaling that supply chain capacity, not demand, is the real constraint. Nvidia and Palantir launched a collaboration to apply AI to Nvidia's own supply chain operations to identify bottlenecks and allocate materials more effectively.

  • 01Nvidia's doubling forecast depends on supply chain throughput, not demand—the company itself is supply constrained according to CFO Colette Kress.
  • 02Nvidia and Palantir said their first sovereign AI deployment for Nvidia’s operations is designed to spot supply constraints earlier and improve how materials are allocated across production.
  • 03Enterprise buyers should plan for competitive allocation pressure, higher networking and infrastructure costs alongside GPU spending, and the emergence of on-premises architectures as first-class options.

Fifth Third, Priority and CSI deals put a premium on payments built into software

Fifth Third, Priority and CSI deals put a premium on payments built into software

Fifth Third led a strategic investment in Payload, Priority Commerce agreed to acquire IntelliPay, and CSI acquired Qolo in a series of summer transactions, PYMNTS reported. Together, the deals point to buyers valuing payments technology already integrated into the software customers use, not just standalone processing capacity. For operators, that means the entity holding payment data can change hands without the front-end software changing.

  • 01BCG puts software providers with integrated payments at 36% of small and midsize business acquiring revenue in 2024, heading to 45% by 2028, a benchmark for where merchant payment spend is shifting.
  • 02Finance and IT leaders at firms running property, practice management or utility billing software should check who actually owns the payment module in their contract, because that is the asset being bought.

System integrators decide whether factory tech pays off, Smart Industry argues

System integrators decide whether factory tech pays off, Smart Industry argues

Smart Industry’s Sept. 9, 2026 piece argues plant technology creates no business value until system integrators fit it into existing systems, operations and workflows. Related summer coverage highlights upskilling, institutional knowledge and technician demand alongside the same integration-and-deployment theme. The framing shifts attention from which platform to buy to who implements it and how the engagement is scoped.

  • 01Smart Industry's framing moves the buying question from which platform to license to who integrates it and how that engagement is scoped, which puts the system integrator line item at the center of the return rather than in implementation overhead.
  • 02Gartner figures cited by Quality Magazine show 24% of industrial enterprises using IoT have implemented digital twins and 42% plan to, suggesting most IoT-using plants still have digital twin integration work ahead.
  • 03The Deloitte and Manufacturing Institute report, as covered by Smart Industry, says AI can embed skills into workflows to address technician demand; the sharper question for a plant manager is whether that changes headcount or changes what each technician can cover.
