Sepura wins second contract from South Korean police

Sepura has won a second contract to supply TETRA hand-portable radios to the Metropolitan Police Agency of Incheon (IMPA) in South Korea.

The IMPA, a Sepura user since 2005, will deploy the radios to assist in the security of the 17th Asian Games that are currently taking place in the city of Incheon. The contract was won in conjunction with Winnersystech, Sepura’s South Korean channel partner.

IMPA is adding in excess of 500 STP series hand-portable and DMO gateway radios to its existing fleet of more than 3000 Sepura TETRA terminals and has assigned over 14,000 policemen to police and secure the Games.

The Asian Games, which run from 19 September to 4 October, are also officially known as the XVII Asiad and are the largest sporting event in Asia governed by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA). They comprise 439 events in 36 sports and disciplines and athletes and visitors from more than 45 countries.
