Watch KENWOOD introducing KAIROS DMR Repeater – Part 1
An introduction to the technology used within KAIROS repeaters, a brief taster of just some of the functionality available which includes Simulcast (Quasisync) and diversity receivers. Kairos is versatile hardware platform, a software defined radio (SDR) and shows the path for all future base station design. Kenwood are again moving the boundaries in mobile radio technology with increased range, firstly with NXDN technology and now with Diversity receivers.
An intro to Tier III DMR over IP with Kairos Repeaters - Part 2
Kairos – at the heart of Kenwood Digital DMR Simulcast Networks and DMR Tier 3 Network infrastructure
KAIROS is an ETSI compliant multi-protocol repeater that implements all modulation/demodulation and filtering processes through algorithms in the Digital Signal Processor (DSP).
This method provides repeatability, the perfect matching of repeaters and can handle different protocols. The Kairos repeater offers true multi-protocol flexibility as the addition of a new protocol or standard can be achieved with a software upgrade.
The sophisticated software and hardware platform used in KAIROS makes it a powerful and robust Basestation or Repeater. Its LINUX core provides IP interfaces to other devices and networks and allows for a high level of customisation.
KAIROS is designed for infrastructure applications, especially where radio frequency pollution is an issue and offers excellent coverage and clear communications with rejection of adjacent channel interference.
