IP-M60 Hybrid LTE Plus Marine VHF Radio
Supports Communication at Sea & on Land
The IP-M60 is the world’s¹ first hybrid IP radio, combining two communication modes in one device: VHF marine and LTE. It functions as a marine VHF handheld mobile radio - widely used for maritime safety - and as a land-based LTE cellular radio for long-distance communication within cellular coverage areas².
The IP-M60 is ideal for use offshore, in ports, rivers, and canals where both maritime and land-based communication are needed. It’s especially useful for rescue boats coordinating with search-and-rescue agencies, or during events like yacht races that require communication across multiple networks.
Cellular (LTE) Mode
In Cellular mode, communication takes place over the carrier’s LTE (or 3G) network, allowing calls anywhere within coverage. Simultaneous TalkListen™ enables full-duplex communication, so users can talk and listen at the same time—just like a phone call.
Marine Mode
This mode operates as a VHF marine radio, offering the same core functions and performance as traditional models like the Icom IC-M25. VHF marine communication is essential for ensuring maritime safety between vessels and coastal stations.
Cellular (LTE) + Marine Mode
Cellular and Marine modes can be used simultaneously (simultaneous reception is possible, and audio is MIXED.) PTT buttons for Main and Sub-mode make it possible to select the communication mode assigned to each with one touch. The communication mode can be selected quickly without having to switch modes. Simultaneous transmission on both channels is possible by pressing the PTT buttons for the Main and Submode at the same time.
Four Sub-Modes - Automatically Select Transmission Mode
Cellular + Marine Mode offers four sub-modes: “Cellular Main”, “Marine Main”, “Adaptive PTT with Cellular Main”, and “Adaptive PTT with Marine Main”. Below are examples of “Cellular Main“ and “Adaptive PTT with Cellular Main“ modes. The same settings can be swapped between Marine and LTE modes.
Cellular Main Mode
In the Cellular Main mode, the IP-M60 typically stands by in Cellular mode and initiates calls to cellular groups by pushing the Main PTT button. However, if a call is received on a marine channel, the radio temporarily switches to the Marine mode to respond on the marine channel.
Adaptive PTT with Cellular Main Mode
In this mode, the radio remains in the Cellular mode by default and initiates calls to cellular groups when the Main PTT button is pressed. As the operator moves to a preprogrammed marine area (GPS point), the radio automatically shifts to the Marine mode and transmits on a marine channel.
Relay Mode — Transfers Received Audio to Another Mode
Relay Mode transfers received audio between the marine and IP radio groups. When operating in this mode, the IP-M60 automatically forwards incoming voice signals without playing them through the speaker.
*The Relay function may be prohibited in some countries.
Bluetooth® Technology Enables Wireless Operation
The built-in Bluetooth® unit provides a wireless connection between the IP-M60 and an optional Bluetooth® headset. It also has a VOX function that enables automatic voice transmission in response to your voice, allowing hands-free operation.
1500 mW Speaker Output, Provide Clear Loud Audio
Icom’s custom high-power capacity speaker delivers a loud 1500 mW audio output with advanced acoustic sound clarity for noisy environments.
MIL-STD-810 & IP67 Specifications
The IP-M60 is tested to U.S. Military standard environmental tests and dust-tight and waterproof rating of IP67*. It can be used with peace of mind on decks exposed to rain or splashing water, or in dusty conditions such as during ship repairs.
*1 meter (3 feet) under water for 30 minutes.
AquaQuake™ Draining Functions
Icom's unique AquaQuake™ function emits a buzzing sound, shedding water from the speaker grill. The IP-M60 provides clear sound even if it gets wet from rain or waves.
Emergency Call Functions*
Simply by pushing the Emergency button, an emergency call can be made with an audible warning to a pre-defined destination. In addition to pressing the Emergency button, the Emergency call can be triggered by the Man Down, Lone Worker, and Motion/Stationary functions.
*Emergency call functions work in the Cellular mode.
Status Function Posts the Current Status
Current Status information, such as “Break”, “Working”, and “Meeting” can be posted and referenced from other radios. In addition, predefined short messages (up to 32 characters) can be sent to the talkgroup.
Vibration Alert Function Notifies You of an Incoming Call
The Vibration Alert function notifies the user that a call or text message has been received with a strong vibration. This function can be configured for individual calls, group calls, all calls, or only when receiving text data, depending on how it is used.
Last Four Minutes Recording*
The IP-M60 has a recording and playback function, so that if you miss something, you can listen to it again immediately.
*Maximum recording: 4 minutes or 10 recordings
Dedicated Channel 16 Button
Channel 16 is the international Distress, Emergency, and Calling channel. Push the Channel 16 button to monitor the channel.
Dualwatch & Tri-Watch Functions
Dualwatch and Tri-watch functions allow you to monitor Channel 16 and another working channel simultaneously. This is especially useful in scenarios like yacht races, where race announcements are made on one channel while Channel 16 must still be monitored for safety.
Features:
- Noise-canceling function reduces background noise from the transmitting voice
- The Automatic Firmware Update and Provisioning function works through an LTE connection
- Priority call with a high-priority authority
- Dual SIM capability to install two SIM cards at the same time
- One Touch PTT function keeps transmitting while you are talking
- Address book for storing talkgroup IDs
- Favorite channel scan, Priority channel scan, and Auto Scan Start functions
- Weather channel receiver with a Weather Alert function*
*Depending on the transceiver version.
*1 According to Icom research as of February 2024.
