Take Control of Your Radio Software
Before today, every time you purchased a P25 land mobile radio you paid for the hardware plus all the software options. In some cases, the software options alone exceed 70% of the radio price. This buying model is outdated, and we think it’s time the LMR market catches up to the rest of the consumer market. That’s why we introduced the industry’s first subscriber radio perpetual software license program, which transforms the way you purchase your radios and adds greater value by extending the life of the software into your next hardware platform - you own the software option forever. And your licenses are easy to manage with Vault™, our cloud-based asset management tool.
Lowest Cost of Ownership - Transfer Up To $2,400 Worth of Value Per Radio
Purchasing new hardware shouldn’t mean purchasing new software. Vault allows customers who purchased a feature in a radio to transfer that feature to a replacement or future radio. The transfer of a license to another radio will save you money by not requiring you to purchase that same feature in a future radio - ever. Vault provides the lowest total cost of ownership and unsurpassed value in KENWOOD Viking® radios.
The following perpetual licenses can be transferred from one Viking radio to another Viking radio:
- MDC1200/GE-Star Signaling
- P25 Phase 1 Trunking
- P25 Conventional
- P25 Data Trunking
- FIRESafe® Responder
- FIRESafe® Command
