Kenwood USA unveiled the NEXEDGE product line of
multimode conventional and trunked mobiles, portables and repeaters.
Joe Watts, the company’s product manager, said the suite was developed
in part to address the FCC’s narrowbanding requirements.
An important
feature of NEXEDGE devices is their ability to operate in both analog
mode (25 kHz- and 12 kHz-wide channels) and in digital mode (12.5 kHz-
and 6.25 kHz-wide channels). The FCC has stipulated that public safety
systems transition to 12.5 kHz-wide channels by January 2013 and has
mandated that equipment vendors develop equipment capable of operating
on 6.25 kHz-wide channels by January 2011.
“NEXEDGE will
be ready for these changes, so users don’t have to change out subscriber
or infrastructure equipment when that does occur,” he said. Indeed,
the operational migration paths offered by the NEXEDGE suite are varied
and permit operators to transition their fleets at their own pace, Watts
said.
