KENWOOD NX-5000 Series Two Way Radios

NXDN Digital Protocol
The proven Enterprise Network Solution with cutting-edge digital technologies for scalable mission and operation-critical communications.

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.

DMR Digital Protocol
An efficient, economical solution for dynamic businesses looking to upgrade their two way radio communications.

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.

P25
P25 is the established mission-critical protocol for first responders in many parts of the world, with proven reliability and interoperability.

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.

Smart yet simple
Once programmed and configured, an NX-5000 Series radio can automatically identify a call signal whether it’s NXDN, DMR, P25 or FM analogue – and transmits in the same mode received. By setting the radio to Mixed Mode, the radio to waits for a call in both digital and analogue modes in a digital/analogue environment. Moreover, the new Geographical Zone function allows NX-5000 Series radios to operate in any mode – conventional or trunked – in the same zone.

Two hand-portable configurations to choose from
Choose between two hand-portable walkie-talkie configurations – one without a numeric keypad and the other with numeric keypad (16-key model).

Both styles feature the 4-way Directional-pad (D-pad) control and 2-position lever switch.

Full-colour, 1.74-inch Transflective LCD display
A 1.74-inch (240 x 180 pixel) 65,536-colour Transflective LCD, capable of displaying multi-line text and coloured icons, can be viewed clearly in direct sunlight or in the dark, even while wearing polarized sunglasses.

Optional Intelligent Battery Management System
The Intelligent Battery Management System helps to extend battery lifetime and ensure that batteries are optimally maintained to be ready for mission-critical operations. The system comprises the optional high-capacity Li-ion and Ni-MH Batteries (KNB-L1/L2/L3/N4), Intelligent Charger (KSC-Y32), and Battery Reader software (KAS-12 or KAS-12PRO, an upgrade option).

Up to 60 Rapid Chargers can be chain-connected to a PC installed with the KAS-12 Battery Reader software, which can display and manage information: battery type, model name, voltage, temperature, discharge cycle, expected life, and remaining capacity. Additionally, with KAS-12PRO (software upgrade license), data can be stored for up to 5,000 batteries for centralised management of their initial date of use, elapsed days, discharge cycle, remaining capacity and deterioration (end-of-life).

Multiple configuration mobile / fixed base radios
Kenwood NX-5000 Series mobile radios can either be installed in a vehicle or employed as fixed base base/relay station*. They feature an integrated luminance sensor on a 2.55-inch (154 x 422 pixel) 65,536-color TFT display which automatically adjusts the brightness of the backlight. Text data is shown on the display in multiple lines.

Detachable front panel
The front panel can be removed and used as a remote controller and for even greater flexibility, the front panel and RF Deck can be purchased separately to create a variety of configurations to suit diverse requirements.

Optional multiple configuration capability
The NX-5700/5800/5900 mobile radios allow users to create a variety of configurations to suit diverse requirements by combining different options.
