Icom, a leading communication solutions provider, and PCI Race Radios, a pioneer in race communication solutions, have forged a strong partnership built on a mutual desire to overcome challenges and innovate.

This radio package's design's simplicity and ease of use embody Icom's dedication to providing reliable and high-quality communication tools tailored for co-drivers in racing scenarios.

Now led by Scott Steinberger, PCI continues to support numerous off-road events and has incorporated Icom's technology into its customized vehicle intercom systems. As the partnership evolves, there is potential for integrating satellite PTT and IP-based devices running on satellite networks, promising a bright future for both companies.
