Public safety contract awarded to Sepura

An undisclosed European public safety organisation has selected Sepura to provide 19,000 SC20 series hand-portable radios. These are Wi-Fi enabled and ready to deliver future broadband data services.

“The SC20 series’ second high-speed data-bearer option places the customer in a unique position,” said Gary Aitkenhead, Sepura’s VP Devices.

“It creates the potential to offer capabilities never before associated with a TETRA device, including over-the-air programming via Wi-Fi, control of a body-worn camera, or tethering to a smartphone or tablet device by Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.”

Submersible, waterproof, salt resistant and dustproof, the SC20 series also has IP66, IP67 and IP68 environmental protection ratings and an easy-clean design, allowing it to be rinsed in running water.

Water-porting technology, combined with 2 W audio output, ensures clarity of communications in harsh conditions.

“The ability to utilise narrowband data applications, along with the extended coverage and exceptional toughness of the SC20 series, will drive efficiency, futureproofing the customer’s investment while helping to meet their evolving communications requirements,” said Aitkenhead.
