Kenwood announced NEXEDGE 2.5, a firmware update that adds a wide range of new capabilities to NEXEDGE mobiles, portables and infrastructure.
Enhancements include the KPG-150AP OTAP Manager, enabling over-the-air programming (OTAP) for easier field programming and management of up to 100,000 subscriber units; telephone interconnect, which enables the management of 100,000 subscriber units; IP interface for VoIP, the KTI-4 Interconnect Adapter so that radios can call PSTN & PABX extensions as well as use other telephone features; Selective Call (SelCall) on PTT; enhanced audio settings to reduce background noise and a restricted user feature. The KAS-10 dispatch messaging and GPS/AVL software package has been enhanced to include Virtual Radio IP Dispatch, so that the dispatch PC can connect directly into a NEXEDGE trunked network.
