KENWOOD DMR Radios: The Smart Choice for Hybrid Work Environments

In fast-paced, high-demand workplaces like warehouses, transport hubs, retail outlets, and hospitality environments, communication is critical. KENWOOD’s line of DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) portables bridges the gap between analog tradition and digital innovation. With robust environmental compliance—meeting both MIL-STD C/D/E/F/G and IP54/55 standards—these radios are built tough yet ergonomically designed for daily use.

Analog and Digital in One Device

KENWOOD DMR radios offer full support for both analog and digital operation, allowing teams to transition at their own pace. They automatically switch between formats, ensuring seamless communication between legacy analog and modern digital units without any disruption.

Enhanced Efficiency with TDMA

Utilizing 2-slot Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) in 12.5 kHz channels, these radios deliver superior spectrum efficiency. Classified under DMR Tier II, they’re ideal for licensed conventional systems, allowing up to two calls on the same frequency.

Direct Mode Functionality

Need reliable communication without infrastructure? With dual-slot Direct Mode, two users can connect directly—even simultaneously—without a base station or repeater, effectively doubling capacity and reducing operational costs.

Prioritize with Call Interruption

For critical scenarios, the call interrupt feature ensures urgent messages can override ongoing transmissions. This function works in both direct and repeater-based modes, adding an extra layer of safety and control.

Stay Safe with Lone Worker Monitoring

The built-in Lone Worker feature automatically checks the status of solo employees, enhancing workplace safety protocols without additional systems.

Mixed Mode for Smooth Migration

Mixed-mode capability allows the radio to receive both analog and digital signals, facilitating a flexible and cost-effective transition across your communication ecosystem.

Built to Last

With a ruggedized housing rated IP54/55 and tested to MIL-STD standards, these radios are engineered to withstand dust, water, vibration, and rough handling—making them ideal for unpredictable conditions in the field.

All-Day Battery Power

Long battery life is crucial for uninterrupted communication. These radios support both Li-ion and NiMH battery types, offering extended operating hours—especially when used in digital mode, which is more energy-efficient.

Crystal-Clear Audio You Can Rely On

Featuring a 1-watt speaker output and AMBE+2™ VOCODER technology, these radios provide clear voice transmission even in noisy environments. Voice announcements (available in English, French, or Spanish*) enhance user awareness without needing to glance at the display.

Compact and Stylish

Despite their rugged build, the slim and ergonomic design ensures easy handling and convenient portability for long shifts on the job.
