JVCKENWOOD: NX-5000 Series with DMR

JVCKENWOOD USA Corp. announced that the NX-5000 Series mobiles and portables have added the DMR protocol, making these the first radios capable of three digital protocols: NXDN®, P25 Phase I&II and DMR. The added capability of DMR Tier II makes these radios more aligned with the requirements of users in public safety, government and mission critical organizations such as utilities, company officials said in a press release.

"We see enormous competitive advantages with the addition of DMR," said John North, Vice President of Sales, Enterprise Systems Division, JVCKENWOOD USA Corp. "The NX-5000 Series was already a truly versatile radio that has been well received by customers, because it offers customers an affordable path to digital in a full-featured radio. And now, with the addition of DMR, customers have even more choices about how they want to migrate to digital along with expanded capabilities."

The NX-5000 Series can support two digital protocols and FM analog, which means that customers can configure the radio for FM/DMR/NXDN, FM/NXDN/P25 and FM/DMR/P25.  New series firmware and software upgrades facilitate updating existing NX-5000 radios with the new DMR capability, enhancing functions such as remote control by subscriber, mobile relay station, multiple RF deck single speaker output and SD card enhancements.
