Global Communications, Kenwood’s distributor in Africa has just completed the implementation of a NEXEDGE NXDN network across sixteen sites for the commercial banking arm of a major Southern African bank.

The individual sites are linked to each other using the Bank’s Virtual Private Network (VPN) to ensure the security integrity of the network and fail-safe availability of operations-critical communications between key members of the bank’s maintenance, surveillance, emergency and security teams.

The NXDN Digital Conventional trunked network consists of 1+1 repeaters at each site providing in-building communications between teams and the capability to communicate between individual sites and across all sites to maximise both safety and security of personnel and assets.

In addition, Kenwood KAS-10 AVL & Dispatch software is used to monitor and track guarding personnel across all sites and makes good use of the built-in GPS and advanced lone-worker and man-down features of the hand-portable radios.
