INTRODUCTION

The NEXLINK interoperability gateway is an intelligent cross connection from cellular, PBX or
PSTN networks to Kenwood NEXEDGE or any other analog repeater system. It works by
allowing a user to remotely access the repeater just by placing a regular telephone call to the
NEXLINK gateway from any cell phone, standard land line phone or internal PBX. The NEXLINK
gateway auto‐answers an incoming call. At this point the user has full control over the
connected Kenwood radio as if sitting in front of it. Within seconds the user can instantly
connect to digital or analog talk groups. An interactive voicemail type system is used to allow
the user to select talk groups via the DTMF pad on their phone. The user can also enable or
disable scanning to monitor multiple talk groups. Once a talk group is selected, the user
presses the DTMF 9 key to start a call/transmission. To end the call the user presses the DTMF 0
key. The user can just hang up the phone to shut down the link. The NEXLINK gateway plugs
directly into a Kenwood NEXEDGE mobile radio using the supplied plug & play cable kit. A
standard telephone line or VOIP line with an off the shelf ATA is required to the NEXLINK
gateway which is used as the link. The NEXLINK gateway does not need to be located at the site
and uses the existing repeater infrastructure to operate. The gateway, radio, and link
source(TELCO) simply needs to be located within range of the repeater site.
