Sepura delivers 1,000,000th TETRA radio

Ten years after its launch, Sepura has delivered its one-millionth radio.

Receiving the company’s 1,000,000th radio, Brigadier Eng Al Salem Al-Henzab, director of Telecommunications and Operations, Ministry of Interior, Qatar, said, “We’re delighted to celebrate such a remarkable milestone with Sepura and its Qatari partner Consolidated Gulf Company (CGC). The decision to deploy STP8000 hand-portable TETRA radios was unanimous. We believe that the STP8000 stands out because of its 1.8 W RF power - which delivers extended coverage, and for its high-capacity battery capability - which ensures reliable communications during longer shifts. Both of these features are of great value to Qatar Police.”

“Delivering our one-millionth radio is an achievement that we are extremely proud of because it demonstrates the leading role Sepura plays in the global adoption of TETRA,” said Gordon Watling, CEO of Sepura. “The delivery to Qatar’s Ministry of Interior marks our commitment to the Middle East where we are developing a strong customer base. With each new contract we demonstrate Sepura’s knowledge of the challenges facing communications in the region and the relevance of our expertise in meeting them.

“We delivered our 500,000th radio in 2008. Another significance of today’s remarkable milestone is the considerably shorter time taken for Sepura to deliver the second 500,000th radio - this demonstrates our impressive levels of growth.”

Anil Mahajan, chief operating officer, CGC, congratulated the Ministry of Interior (MoI) on receiving the millionth Sepura radio. ”We at CGC are proud to serve the MoI among 300-plus valued TETRA clients and over 10,000 end users in Qatar. Kudos to long-term strategic partner Sepura on achieving this great feat.”
