Walkie talkie from Japan to the Philippines?

A handheld radio that can transmit between the Philippines and Japan?
This is a basic overview of the Cignus NX100 Gen2 - a POC handheld radio which requires no license to operate.
Aside from being able to transmit from radio to radio, you can also create various groups between different radios, perform GPS tracking, and designate an administrator or commander radio unit that can talk over any ongoing communication.
These radios are Push-to-Talk over Cellular. I'm using a Smart SIM card with the Magic Data (non-expiring) data promo.
* In the video, I mentioned using various different type-c chargers for the radio. Please note that it doesn’t work with all “fast charge” cables. This is a common issue with type-c devices. If you plan to use this radio in another country, I recommend checking compatibility first with Cignus - for what bands are supported.

Sorry don’t mean to sound negative but are those radios only meant for commercial use,and if anyone can buy those,surely criminals could use them and not get traced,because that’s why SIM cards are registered now because of crime related issues!!🙏🙏

@GadgetAddict 3 месяца назад

Firstly, let's address the elephant in the room... SIM registration doesn't stop criminals. It's trivially easy to register a SIM using false information. You can see various news reports about that. Criminals have been getting past the strict KYC process required by e-wallets for many years already - so the SIM registration process is just a joke for them. Aside from that, what's to stop criminals from using a SIM or eSIM from another country, and then enabling roaming to use it inside the PH without having to register it? Or what's to stop criminals from buying a UHF/VHF radio online and using that without relying on a cell network? Anyway, putting all of that aside, these radios use a regular SIM card, just like your phone. So you will be required to register the SIM card.

Some cellular radios support a special DMO Mode for direct connections. It would be great if these radios would try a dPMR connection first and then try a repeated dPMR connection and only then go into cellular mode. dPMR is license free in nearly all countries, unlike Tetra25 which support the DMO-mode and some cellular modes. It would be great if they could add DMR and DV (D-Star) modes too.

@RideWhileYouCan 2 месяца назад

Its ok if youre in an area where network towers are available, downside,you need a data plan to make the unit work. And it uses a voip protocol or Voice Over LTE. anothe4 problem with that is, it is useless when all network towers are down. Thats why rescue and other ham radio enthusiast still use licensed ham radio like vhf and uhf.

There's no specific seller that I'd recommend to be honest. They're available in most Cignus dealer shops, but also online through Shopee and Lazada. Depending on the vouchers available, you could get it much cheaper by buying it online. You can find it by searching "cignus NX100" - just make sure that it's the new gen2 version, since some people are still selling the older and larger version.

It's a push to talk cell phone bud. Low to no latency data type. It's like using a low bandwidth internet browser on your computer. It's still using the Internet, it's still an Internet browser. Call a spade a spade. It's still really cool. But, it's a push to talk cellular device.

@kevinlee1519 2 месяца назад

Trying to figure out what this device is useful for personal use. In the US, it reminds me of a walkie tallkie technology from Nextel, which was a PTT (Push to talk) which relied on proprietary phones (but also supposted the PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network) which these types of devices don't support. Yet another gadget to carry, not sure if it's worth the bother.

@GadgetAddict 2 месяца назад

A lot of people seem to be considering this as a (bad) alternative to a cellphone. But really it's an alternative (or addition) to those who already use a radio, or have a need of a radio. I would say that the average person probably doesn't need a radio in their day to day life. But for those who do, it serves a very useful purpose. And you're right, Nextel is the classic. It's a shame that was phased out.
