Transport & Fleet

The rail, bus, trucking and fleet management industries employ two-way radio to provide voice and data communication between command and control centres, vehicles, station / depot staff and maintenance teams. The industry has also increasingly harnessed integrated features including GPS-based vehicle tracking capability, which provide 'live' information on a vehicle's position; a real operational benefit in keeping staff and customers well informed.

Kenwood NEXEDGE® digital two way radios and walkie talkies deliver the safety, security and efficiency in general operations and emergency situations that the transport and fleet management industries demand from their communications systems today and into the future. Whether in peer to peer or trunked network systems, Kenwood NEXEDGE® offers increased range, greater clarity, improved security against eavesdropping and more flexible management of user groups within local, regional, national or even international networks.

But that's just part of the story, the additional benefits of Kenwood NEXEDGE® include Mixed Mode, a feature which allows all NEXEDGE® hand portable walkie-talkies and mobile in-vehicle units to communicate automatically with existing analogue radios whatever the make; providing a straightforward and cost effective migration path to digital technology, while 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 for operation in harsh environments.
