- Space-Efficient Profile: Sleek, thin chassis fits two complete repeaters within a single 1U height, 19-inch rack space.
- Intelligent Monitoring: High-contrast 1.71-inch OLED screen displays prominent icon alerts and numeric channel statuses.
- Network Integration: Built-in IP network adapter supports multicast routing and remote IP control functionality.
- Fail-Safe Security: Supports Hot Standby redundancy systems to guarantee uninterrupted communication uptime.
The NXR-1700 and NXR-1800 series delivers premium RF handling across narrow commercial channels. The NXR-1700 handles VHF bands (136–174 MHz), and the NXR-1800 handles UHF bands (400–470 MHz). Supporting up to 32 channels, both variants output a configurable 1–50W power level at a 50% duty cycle, or a stable 25W output power profile at a 100% continuous maximum duty cycle.
Competitive Differentiators
This series shines by packing two independent repeaters into a single 1U rack slot, effectively doubling network capacity while halving traditional site rental costs. It eliminates hardware lock-in via an open software-selectable digital protocol engine (DMR or NXDN). Backed by standard SNMP protocol reporting for generic system monitoring and an integrated IP network adapter, it brings premium enterprise infrastructure value to modern communication fleets.
