September 22, 2016
(Suwanee, GA) JVCKENWOOD USA Corp. announces that Henderson County, North Carolina has purchased a VHF trunked KENWOOD NEXEDGE digital radio system for EMS, fire, rescue squads and law enforcement. Currently a six-site system, at full deployment, there will be additional sites and 2,500 KENWOOD radios in use in the nearly 400 square mile county.
“We reviewed other technologies and determined that the NEXEDGE system would offer the greatest capacity for scalability, add enhanced features like GPS, the efficiency of 6.25 kHz operation as well as expanded coverage, and all at the best cost,” said Jimmy Brissie, Emergency Management and Rescue Coordinator for Henderson County. “On our new NEXEDGE system, all of the dead spots have been filled in. We’ve increased efficiency in responding to calls as well as improved the safety and security of our first responders.”
The local KENWOOD authorized dealer, Brian Kimball, with Kimball Communications, coordinated the system engineering and infrastructure build-out with the JVCKENWOOD USA Corp. engineering team. Kimball pointed out that, “One of the biggest benefits of the NEXEDGE digital technology is value. When you go in the direction of P25, you’ll pay double the price of comparable NEXEDGE technology with basically the same features. NEXEDGE offers the ultimate in value to mission critical end users.”
“With NEXEDGE, the County now has a spectrum efficient digital solution that they can easily scale up as the County’s population and demand for services increases.” said John North, Vice President of Sales, Enterprise Systems Division, JVCKENWOOD USA Corp.
