  • Bemerkung
  • ICR (International Communications Recorder), was unveiled in 1972 at the Airports Exhibition.

    This revolutionary system boasted several advancements:

    • High Channel Capacity on Minimal Tape Width: The ICR could record a significant number of channels on a narrower tape, maximizing recording efficiency.
    • 24-Hour Continuous Recording: A single spool of tape offered a substantial 24 hours of uninterrupted recording, ideal for demanding applications.
    • Compact Size and Competitive Pricing: Despite its advanced features, the ICR maintained a smaller footprint and remained cost-effective compared to similar systems.

    The ICR's innovative design garnered significant interest.

    The UK Civil Aviation Authority quickly adopted the system for their air traffic control centers and major airports. International customers from France, Italy, Singapore, and numerous other countries followed suit, utilizing the ICR for various communication recording needs beyond aviation.
