NX-5300E
The NX-5000 Series was developed specifically to meet the needs of mission critical users, for example, first responder emergency services attending a major incident or teams engaged in search and rescue or providing aid following natural disasters where different radio protocols may be in use by different agencies. As you would expect, the radios are equipped with a wealth of advanced user safety and security features including GPS as standard along with programmable functions that can be tailored to meet the specific operational requirements.
With Kenwood NX-5000 Series hand-portable and mobile / in-vehicle radios you can choose to have two digital Common Air Interfaces (CAIs), even those operating in different protocols, plus FM analogue pre-programmed in a single radio.
This unique flexibility is especially useful if you need to be able to communicate in analogue and two different digital protocols, for example:
• When migrating from an analogue two-way radio system to digital
• When switching your system from one digital protocol to another
• If you are undecided about which digital protocol is ideally suited to your long-term requirements
• If you need to operate a mixed fleet (especially useful when visiting sites operating in a different digital protocol or in emergency services / first responder situations)
NX-5000 Series radios can be configured to simultaneously support the following combinations of access protocols:
FM + DMR (Tier II) + NXDN
FM + NXDN (Gen1 and 2) + P25 (Phase 1 & 2)
FM + DMR (Tier II) + P25 (Phase 1 & 2)
Kenwood NEXEDGE NXDN air interface operates in the very narrow 6.25 kHz bandwidth employing FDMA technology. Ensuring spectrum efficiency, wide coverage and virtually unlimited scalability, it provides for nationwide expansion, while Type-C Trunking Gen2 offers enhanced features, flexibility and performance and the ability to link up to 1,000 sites or 24 individual networks.
For simple conventional communications, making use of existing infrastructure, DMR is an excellent, cost-effective solution. Being energy-efficient, it offers longer battery life and thanks to 2-slot TDMA, it is possible to obtain 2 talk paths within an analogue 12.5 kHz bandwidth, thus doubling the capacity.
Kenwood NX-5000 Series supports DMR Tier II conventional mode.
This digital CAI ensures interoperability among public safety agencies. The NX-5000 Series is compatible with Phase 1 (conventional and trunked), and Phase 2 (trunked.
