Nautel’s KENTA VHF Coastal Station consists of VHF transceivers (25W, 50W or 100W) that can be delivered as stand-alone products or completely integrated in a VHF rack. All transceivers have IP ED137 interface as well as SNMP and HTTP interfaces for maximum flexibility and interoperability.
Nautel is ready to optimize your VHF solution. Depending on your transmission site and available tower space, Nautel can propose the optimum number of VHF transceivers, and power levels. Antenna configurations may range from a single antenna with a coax relay or a duplexer per VHF transceiver, or the use of 2 separate receiving and transmitting antennas per transceiver. Splitters adapted for VHF are also available.

While Nautel can offer a complete end-to-end suite of Kenta solutions, the standards based architecture makes it possible to integrate 3rd party products. To facilitate integrations Nautel offers Kenta ED137 IP gateways that can be interfaced with 3rd party equipment and integrate audio, squelch and additional controls. An often requested integration is the incorporation of air traffic VHF transceivers into a GMDSS architecture. Deploy your Kenta GMDSS solution knowing that you’ll have flexibility today and into the future.
