KENWOOD KAIROS Multi-Protocol Repeaters
KAIROS is a software-defined, multi-protocol repeater platform engineered for the most demanding public safety and industrial environments. Designed to support both P25 Conventional and DMR Tier II operation, KAIROS provides the flexibility required for agencies to maintain standards-based communications across standalone sites or complex wide-area simulcast networks. With its robust hardware and advanced signal processing, KAIROS ensures reliable voice coverage and seamless interoperability for regional emergency services and utilities.
Key Infrastructure Features:
- Multi-Protocol Automatic Switching: Effortlessly handles both analog and digital signals, automatically switching modulation types based on the incoming transmission for maximum system flexibility.
- Advanced IP Multisite Integration: Built-in support for IP interfaces, voting systems, and automatic equalization makes KAIROS the perfect foundation for professional multicast and simulcast networks.
- Soft Diversity Reception: Utilizes advanced signal processing to reduce the effects of multipath interference, significantly improving audio quality and effective RF coverage in difficult terrain.
- System Redundancy: Supports 1+1 (Main + Stand-by) configurations with “Backup Master” functionality, ensuring that if a main master station fails, a slave station automatically restores all network functions.
- SIP/RTP Connectivity: Standards-compliant SIP and RTP support allow for direct integration with VoIP phone systems and modern IP-based dispatch consoles.
- UHF RF Linking: Provides a “mixed linking” solution (IP + UHF) for interconnecting sites where a traditional IP backbone may not be available.
