Ritron RadioNexus User manual

IP INTEROPERABILITY SOLUTION
Achieve a new level of interoperability and increase communication, safety and productivity by expanding your
existing IP network to include your LMR two-way radio users (RoIP).
The Ritron RadioNexus™ network-ready LMR base station transceiver is available in VHF and UHF frequency
band models. A built-in RJ-45 connector and Type 3 E&M analog interface allows easy connection to the IP
network using a simple router or VoIP gateway.
When connected to the IP network via a router or VoIP gateway the Ritron RadioNexus™ enables compatible
LMR radios to communicate across the IP network to any other networked device (i.e. PC, laptop, IP phone, cell
phone) including two-way radios regardless of make, model,
frequency band or signaling format (equivalent
hardware/software may be required at opposite end). For
even greater talk range and/or increased penetration in and
around buildings, the RadioNexus™ can even be
programmed to communicate with a radio repeater.
For maximum compatibility with other LMR radios the Ritron
RadioNexus™ can be programmed to work with virtually any
brand of VHF or UHF business band radios. Features include:
PC programmability, rugged, all-steel, heavy-duty
construction, 2 Watt transmitter, Automatic “ON” feature,
CTCSS or DCS signaling, wide or narrow band operation,
BNC connector for external antenna, local speaker, local
microphone jack, small and compact size (only 1.4”H x 3.8”W
x 5.6” L), wall or desk mountable, 110 VAC or 12 VDC
operation.
VHF “License-Free” models are available
Markets:
•Local, State, and Federal Government
•Businesses
•Schools, Colleges, Universities
•Retail Operations
