NXDN stands for Next Generation Digital Narrowband, and is an open standard for public land mobile radio systems; that is, systems of two-way radios (transceivers) for bidirectional person-to-person voice communication. It was developed jointly by Icom Incorporated and Kenwood Corporation as an advanced digital system using FSK modulation that supports encrypted transmission and data as well as voice transmission. Like other land mobile systems, NXDN systems use the VHF and UHF frequency bands. It is also used as a niche mode in amateur radio.
NXDN is implemented by Icom in their IDAS system [1] and by Kenwood as NEXEDGE;[2] both Kenwood and Icom now offer dual-standard equipment which supports the European dPMR standard.[3][4]
