Construction Industry

Two-way radios are widely in use on professional construction projects to help site management coordinate personnel and services in order to deliver projects safely, on-time and within budget.

However construction sites pose many challenges to two-way radio communications, including signal coverage, ground to crane communications and linking numerous trades, subcontractors and security in user groups to each other and central management within a network. There is also the requirement for reliable, clear and instant communication in a noisy environment, within buildings and in open space whatever the weather, and of course for ease of use, durability and ruggedness.

Kenwood have been supplying its two-way radio systems to the construction industry for many years with equipment and systems that have been proven in use around the world.

Since the launch of Kenwood's NEXEDGE® peer to peer and trunked digital two-way radios and walkie talkie solutions, an increasing number of customers in the construction industry have upgraded to the improved clarity, increased coverage, additional flexibility and enhanced security of NEXEDGE® digital two way radio technology.

Other benefits include Kenwood's Analogue/Digital Mixed Mode which, unlike some other brands, allows NEXEDGE® radios to communicate automatically (without manually switching the operating mode) with existing analogue radios whatever the make; so that you can replace your analogue radios over time in a straightforward and cost effective way.

As you would expect, all NEXEDGE® hand portable walkie talkies conform to MIL-STD-810 C/D/E/F/G for ruggedness and durability and are IP54/55 Water & Dust Intrusion rated, making them ideal in a dusty, muddy construction environment.
