Overview
The NXR-5700, NXR-5800 and NXR-5900 are Kenwood’s full-size NEXEDGE base repeaters, the backbone of conventional and trunked digital systems. They handle everything from a single analog/NXDN conventional repeater up to a multi-site NEXEDGE Gen2 trunked network, with IP networking, digital voting and simulcast built in. Each fits in one rack unit and is rated for continuous-duty operation.
