How NEXEDGE
TM
is already making a difference
Opened in 1999, the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino is one of
the largest luxury resorts in the world, and it continues to
grow. With the addition of the Venezia Tower and the
Palazzo – increasing the number of rooms to over
7,000 – the management needed to add another 1,000 radios
to the 2,000 already in use.
They picked NEXEDGE
TM
as it
allowed them to migrate gracefully from their
12-channel LTR
®
system, doubling capacity to 24
channels without buying more frequencies.
Being reliable,
adaptable and scalable were all important factors, but so too
was cost:
since NEXEDGE
TM
enables analog and digital
radios to coexist, the management can continue to make
use of their assets as they switch over, department by
department, to digital radios. Additionally, in fringe areas
where signal strength was a problem, voice quality is now
crystal clear.
And as this Venice-themed hotel continues to
expand, NEXEDGE
TM
will grow with them; site networking is
included, so new properties can be added seamlessly.
For the G8 Summit at Toyako in Hokkaido, which was
held in July 2008, Kenwood's NEXEDGE
TM
was chosen to
provide group-call communications for Japan's Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. Ministry officials wanted to link three sites
– New Chitose Airport, the International Media Center,
and the Summit venue – while allowing radio-to-radio
communications within each area.
The system had to guarantee security and
confidentiality, as well as clear voice quality. And the
perfect solution was NEXEDGE
TM
.
During the Summit
the system performed flawlessly and the Ministry
expressed its satisfaction. For its part, Kenwood is proud
that NEXEDGE
TM
could play a key role in supporting an
event of such international importance.
