Sepura provides TETRA radios for Brazilian airport

Sepura will provide 3200 TETRA hand-portable radios for the São Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport in Brazil.

The company will supply SC2024 and STP9200 radios as part of a contract to replace the airport’s existing analog communications system, which was awarded to Alcon Engenharia.

The new digital network will provide voice and data services for staff across the airport, including airline personnel, maintenance, cleaning, security and emergency services. A suite of applications will improve processes such as logistics control, team allocation, positioning, image push and radio registration, promoting efficiency across the site.

The airport is consistently ranked as one of the busiest in Latin America, transporting 38,985,000 passengers in 2015 alone.

“We’re extremely pleased to be working with Alcon on this prestigious contract, providing communication for one of Brazil’s most important airports,” said Marcelo Bellatini, business development manager for Sepura.

“Sepura technology empowers airport personnel with mission-critical voice and data services, promoting safety and efficiency of operations.”

Gilson Pozzati, Alcon Engenharia’s airports sales manager, said that the radios are ideal for harsh and noisy airport conditions. “Data services provided by the SC2024 will allow us to optimise operational efficiency across the airport, bringing significant benefits for staff and travellers alike,” he said.
