Kenwood NX-5000 Series

SD CARD SLOT

Secure communications are an essential requirement, especially for public safety applications.
NX-5000 radios are equipped with 56-bit key Data Encryption Standard (DES) encryption. For even higher protection the radios can support 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption with optional module.

Automatic Call Identification

An NX-5000 Series radio automatically identifies a call signal – whether it’s NXDN, DMR, P25, or FM analog – and transmits in the same mode received. Setting your radio to Mixed Mode allows the radio to wait for a call in both digital and analog modes in a digital/analog environment. Moreover, the new Geographical Zone function allows these radios to operate in any mode – conventional or trunked – in the same zone.

BUILT-IN BLUETOOTH®

Hands-free operation is vital for many NX-5000 users. The radios’ built-in Bluetooth® module is compatible with Headset and Serial Port Profiles (ver. 3.0) and keeps your hands free.

Clear Communications Even in Noisy Environments.

In addition to sophisticated sound analysis and optimization technologies, these radios feature Active Noise Cancelling based on leading-edge digital technology to offer clear communications even in very noisy environments.

Detachable front panel

The front panel can be removed and used as a remote controller. Also the Featured Panel and RF Deck can be purchased separately to create Multiple Configurations.

DMR

An efficient, economical solution for dynamic businesses looking to upgrade their communications

For simple conventional communications, making use of existing infrastructure, DMR is an excellent, cost-effective solution. Being energy-efficient, it offers longer battery life. And thanks to 2-slot TDMA, it is possible to obtain 2 talk paths within an analog 12.5 kHz bandwidth, thus doubling the capacity. The NX-5000 Series supports Tier II conventional mode.

Full-color display and more

Integrated luminance sensor on a 2.55-inch (154 x 422 pixel) 65,536-color TFT display automatically adjusts the brightness of the backlight. On the screen, text data is shown in multi-line, as much as 5 lines.

Full-color, 1.74-inch color LCD

A 1.74-inch (240 x 180 pixel) 65,536-color Transflective LCD, capable of displaying a multi-line text and colored icons, can be viewed clearly in direct sunlight or in the dark, even while wearing polarized sunglasses.

GPS TO TRANSMIT YOUR POSITION

Featuring an integrated GPS module and antenna, NX-5000 portable radios can transmit positional data, enabling effective management when used with tracking applications like KAS-10 software. Mobile models can support GPS with the optional KRA-40G.

INTELLIGENT BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. (PORTABLES: OPTION)

The Intelligent Battery System helps to extend battery lifetime and ensure that the batteries are optimally maintained so as to be ready for mission-critical operations. The system comprises the optional high-capacity Li-ion and Ni-MH Batteries (KNB-L1/L2/L3/N4), Intelligent Charger (KSC-Y32), and Battery Reader software (KAS-12 or KAS-12PRO, an upgrade option). Up to 60 Rapid Chargers can be chain-connected to a PC installed with the KAS-12 Battery Reader software, which can display and manage information: battery type, model name, voltage, temperature, discharge cycle, expected life, and remaining capacity.
Additionally, with KAS-12PRO (software upgrade license), data can be stored for up to 5,000 batteries for centralized management of their initial date of use, elapsed days, discharge cycle, remaining capacity and deterioration (end-of-life).

* Long Life Charging Mode: stops recharging at 80 % capacity to extend life.
* Up to 5,000 batteries can be managed at a time (requires KAS-12PRO).
* Deterioration (end-of-life) notification (requires KAS-12PRO).

MIL-STD Environmental and Ingress Protection Standards

During the development stage, NX-5000 Series radios go through a number of stringent tests as shown below. As a result, the portable radios complying with IP67/68 immersion standards offer max. 2-hour protection at a depth of 1 meter*, while the mobile radios comply with IP54/55 dust/water ingress protection standards.

*Applies for IP68

NXDN

The Enterprise Network Solution with cutting-edge digital technologies for scalable operation-critical communications

The NXDN air interface can fit into the very narrow 6.25 kHz bandwidth using FDMA technology. Ensuring spectrum efficiency, wide coverage and virtually unlimited scalability, it provides for nationwide expansion: Type-C TrunkingGen2 offers enhanced features, flexibility and performance, linking up to 1,000 sites or 24 networks.

P25

The established mission-critical protocol for first responders, with proven reliability and interoperability

This digital CAI ensures interoperability among public safety agencies. The NX-5000 Series is compatible with Phase 1 (conventional and trunked), and Phase 2 (trunked).

SENSORS FOR USER SAFETY

Man-down Detection, Stationary Detection, or Motion Detection will be automatically engaged when the embedded acceleration and tilt sensors detect unusual behavior. Lone Worker function automatically places the radio in Emergency Mode if it is not operated for a certain period of time.

The bright orange Emergency Button is located at the top (portables) or front (mobiles) of the radio for high visibility and instant access when needed.

Two configurations to choose from

Choose between two portable configurations – one without a numeric keypad and the other with numeric keypad (16-key model). Both styles feature the 4-way Directional-pad (D-pad) and 2-position lever switch.
