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.
