Omnitronics DRG100 AIS firmware for Kenwood NX-5000 series mobile radios

The latest firmware released for the Omnitronics DRG100 Digital Radio Gateway includes serial integrations for Kenwood’s NX-5000 series mobile radios operating in DMR T2 Conventional, NXDN Conventional and Analog modes.

Operation of the DRG100 AIS firmware was proven with the Kenwood NXR1000 repeater operating in DMR Tier 2 Conventional mode and the Kenwood KTI-2500 DMR ‘tier 2.5’ system, with official testing at the Kenwood Test Lab in Texas confirming available radio functionality for each of the protocols. An interface to NXIP Gen1 is coming soon.

Adding the Kenwood radio interoperability to the gateway not only allows users to connect their NX-5000 Kenwood radios to the Omnitronics suite of radio dispatch management solutions, but also serves as a means to interconnect Kenwood radios with other vendor networks — be it as a temporary solution for network migration, or as a permanent option to connect communications from diverse vendor networks long-term.

The expansion of the DRG100 Digital Radio Gateway to support the Kenwood NX-5000 series and other key models showcases Omnitronics’ commitment to seamless communication across diverse radio networks, helping to empower users with greater flexibility and futureproofing for their mission-critical operations.
