The Voice Kids Runners-up Darren Espanto and Juan Karlos Labajo are now the newest endorsers of JOLLIBEE, the leading food chain in the country. Together with the grand champion Lyca and 4th placer Darlene, they wowed the press when they sang Jollibee's newest jingle during the presscon held at Jollibee Greenhills earlier.

Wireless Link Technologies, Inc. technical engineers successfully finished and passed the Icom IP Advanced Radio System Technical Service Training Course last October 7 – 9, 2014 held at Wakayama Icom Inc. in Wakayama, Japan.

Wireless Link, distributor of Icom in the Philippines, together with distributors from Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand and China also visited the Icom Headquarters in Osaka, Japan during their five-day stay at the said city.

The training focused on the Icom’s newest IP Advance Radio System, or commonly referred to as IP100H. The said license-free IP Radio enables full-duplex communication over a wireless local area network (WLAN). This has been also tested to work seamlessly with Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Enterprise System, a WiFi Enterprise system distributed by Wireless Link as well.

The training also tackled the integration of Analog Radios, Icom Digital Advance System (IDAS) Radios, IP100H and IP Phones.  Migration to Digital System has been proven to be cost-effective as the old analog two-way radios can still be integrated into the new digital system.
