Located in south central Kentucky and recognized as the fastest growing university in Kentucky, Western Kentucky University (WKU) could see that their existing two-way radio system was no longer providing adequate coverage and it was time to explore other options. After a two week Kenwood demo, WKU could “immediately see” the benefits of the digital technology. Area Supervisor, Facilities Management at WKU, said that the ergonomic of the radio makes it easier for personnel to use and he applauds the durability of the NEXEDGE® portables, necessary for long work shifts and varying environmental conditions.
