TETRA radios for Lower Saxony

Sepura’s German partner, Selectric Nachrichten Systeme, has been awarded a contract for 7200 Sepura TETRA radios by the Federal State of Lower Saxony.

The Framework Agreement between the Lower Saxony authorities and Selectric was signed in Hanover on 3 May.

The contract also includes delivery of STP8X handheld TETRA radios, which are claimed to be the only IP67 TETRA intrinsically safe radio range to meet version 6 - the latest version of the ATEX and IECEX specifications.

“We are proud to continue our strong association with the German Police authorities; one which is rapidly becoming a real showcase achievement for us and for the TETRA market worldwide. It enables Sepura to demonstrate the appropriateness of its secure, robust and reliable radios in situations where only the best communication links are acceptable,” said Kasper Barfoed, regional director for Sepura.

Hendrik Pieper, managing director of Selectric Nachrichten Systeme, said, “This is the third contract awarded by the Lower Saxony authorities for the supply of TETRA radios. We won the first contract - one of the first German BOS contracts to be awarded. So, winning this prestigious customer ‘back’ is particularly rewarding as the Lower Saxony authorities made this decision after benchmarking Sepura radios against the competition. This success is once again proof of the outstanding quality of the Selectric/Sepura offering.”
