Sepura radios for Dutch police

Sepura has won a major contract win with the Royal Military Police in the Netherlands to supply STP8000 portable TETRA radios.

Designed to perform in the most physically challenging environment, the radios deliver continuous operation in the face of knocks and drops in extreme weather conditions.

In addition to a range of in-built personal safety features, they enable coordination and communication with other emergency services through the Dutch government's public safety network.

With wide-ranging responsibilities, which include protecting the country's national borders and policing civilian airports, the police are set to deploy 3500 radios in the coming months, to replace an existing fleet of Sepura TETRA radios with the new portables to give the latest communications to users and officers.

The large high-resolution colour screen enables officers to display images and access a range of data-transfer applications. The audio gives clear communication in any scenario - including high-background-noise locations like airports.
