What is the EVX-Link
EVX-Link is a fast and easy way to connect multiple DMR
digital coverage areas regardless of geography.
This system provides a seamless and reliable connection via
the use of an existing Local Area Network (LAN) or
internet. It works with or without a repeater infrastructure
which offers great flexibility.
EVX-Link can be used with existing systems or can replace
the functionality of legacy high power repeater equipment.
